GitHub Projects: Import items based on a query and hierarchy view improvements

Import project items with a search query

When creating a new project, you can now add items using a search query, in addition to importing directly from a repository.

This search supports the same filters available on the Issues page, including AND / OR keywords and nested queries, making it easier to start a project with exactly the items you want.

Hierarchy view improvements

Following the public preview of hierarchy view, we’ve shipped several improvements based on your feedback:

  • Create and add sub-issues inline, directly from a project.
  • Drag and drop to reorder and reparent sub-issues.
  • Keep sub-issue ordering in sync between issues and projects.

We’re continuing to invest in hierarchy view. Up next:

  • Avoid showing duplicate issues when they already appear in the hierarchy.
  • Preserve expand and collapse state between sessions.
  • Add filtering for sub-issues (for example, showing only open sub-issues).
