Converting a note to an issue
If you've created a note and find that it isn't sufficient for your needs, you can convert it to an issue.
When you convert a note to an issue, the issue is automatically created using the content from the note. The first line of the note will be the issue title and any additional content from the note will be added to the issue description.
Tip: You can add content in the body of your note to @mention someone, link to another issue or pull request, and add emoji. These GitHub Flavored Markdown features aren't supported within project board notes, but once your note is converted to an issue, they'll appear correctly. For more information on using these features, see "About writing and formatting on GitHub."
