How to filter by issues created by GitHub App using their GraphQL API?

Question

I'm trying to migrate from GitHub's REST API to their GraphQL API in my GitHub bot. I want to filter open issues created by my bot on this repository.

I've tried the following queries:

query ListOpenIssues {
  repository(name: "pacstall-programs", owner: "pacstall") {
    issues(last: 100, filterBy: {states: OPEN, createdBy: "app/pacstall-pacbot"}) {
      nodes {
        number
        title
        url
      }
    }
  }
}

query ListOpenIssues {
  repository(name: "pacstall-programs", owner: "pacstall") {
    issues(last: 100, filterBy: {states: OPEN, createdBy: "pacstall-pacbot"}) {
      nodes {
        number
        title
        url
      }
    }
  }
}

But both of them return

{
  "data": {
    "repository": {
      "issues": {
        "nodes": []
      }
    }
  }
}

How do I properly filter the issues created by my bot?

PS: I've seen this similar question, but it was created 3 years ago, and since then GitHub's GraphQL API has changed, and supports the createdBy field to filter issues.

Answer 1

According to GitHub support, the solution is to append "[bot]" to author fields when filtering:

query ListOpenIssues {
  repository(name: "pacstall-programs", owner: "pacstall") {
    issues(last: 3, filterBy: {createdBy: "pacstall-pacbot[bot]"}) {
      nodes {
        title
      }
    }
  }
}

I have asked GH support to update the documentation as this is not mentioned anywhere.
