I get this error while running the workflow.

INITIAL_COLUMN_ID is not found.

I tried both GITHUB_TOKEN and a custom token but i get the same result. Here my config:

name: Auto Assign to Projects

on:
  issues:
    types: [opened, labeled]
  pull_request:
    types: [opened, labeled]
env:
  MY_GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

jobs:
  assign_one_project:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    name: Assign to One Project
    steps:
      - name: Assign NEW issues and NEW pull requests to Wanda project
        uses: srggrs/assign-one-project-github-action@1.2.1
        if: github.event.action == 'opened'
        with:
          project: "https://github.com/orgs/wonderflow-bv/projects/1"
          column_name: "Backlog"

@equinusocio Do you have a column named Backlog in the project board? from what I can tell it looks like you have one named ✨ Backlog so you should put that in your config file instead of Backlog

Hope that helps!

[Mattia Astorino]

Yes. It was the column name. I think the error message can be misleading

Same problem here. Proj board:

Workflow def:

jobs:
  assign_one_project:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    name: Assign to UA Project
    steps:
    - uses: srggrs/assign-one-project-github-action@1.2.1
      with:
        project: 'https://github.com/orgs/dotnet/projects/xxx'
        column_name: 'Dev In Progress'

Does this action work on private projects?
