There was a problem hiding this comment.
Reviewed the code and ran the tests locally — looks good. The Flags().Changed() approach correctly distinguishes 'not passed' from 'passed as empty', and the fetch-only-when-needed logic is clean. Thanks for the thorough test coverage.

This MR contains the following updates: | Package | Update | Change | |---|---|---| | [cli/cli](https://github.com/cli/cli) | minor | `v2.87.3` → `v2.88.1` | MR created with the help of [el-capitano/tools/renovate-bot](https://gitlab.com/el-capitano/tools/renovate-bot). **Proposed changes to behavior should be submitted there as MRs.** --- ### Release Notes <details> <summary>cli/cli (cli/cli)</summary> ### [`v2.88.1`](https://github.com/cli/cli/releases/tag/v2.88.1): GitHub CLI 2.88.1 [Compare Source](cli/cli@v2.88.0...v2.88.1) #### Fix `pr` commands failing with `read:project` scope error v2.88.0 introduced a regression where `pr` commands would fail with the error: ``` error: your authentication token is missing required scopes [read:project] To request it, run: gh auth refresh -s read:project ``` Previously, missing read:project scope was gracefully handled, and project data was silently skipped. A change inadvertently broke the error matching that enabled this graceful degradation. v2.88.1 reverts these changes so that `pr` commands work correctly without requiring the `read:project` scope. #### What's Changed - Migrate Windows code signing from client secret to OIDC by [@​BagToad](https://github.com/BagToad) in [#​12911](cli/cli#12911) - Revert "refactor: deduplicate scope error handling between api/client.go and project queries" by [@​williammartin](https://github.com/williammartin) in [#​12914](cli/cli#12914) - Revert "fix: clarify scope error while creating issues for projects" by [@​williammartin](https://github.com/williammartin) in [#​12915](cli/cli#12915) **Full Changelog**: <cli/cli@v2.88.0...v2.88.1> ### [`v2.88.0`](https://github.com/cli/cli/releases/tag/v2.88.0): GitHub CLI 2.88.0 [Compare Source](cli/cli@v2.87.3...v2.88.0) ####Request Copilot Code Review from `gh` <img width="80%" height="80%" alt="image" src="proxy.php?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fcli%2Fcli%2Fpull%2F%3Ca+href%3D"https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/c9b86700-5934-44b6-9210-227495a18d8e">https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/c9b86700-5934-44b6-9210-227495a18d8e" /> `gh pr create` and `gh pr edit` now support [Copilot Code Review](https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/using-github-copilot/code-review/using-copilot-code-review) as a reviewer. Request a review with `--add-reviewer @​copilot`, or select Copilot interactively from the searchable reviewer prompt. Create a pull request and request review from Copilot: ``` gh pr create --reviewer @​copilot ``` Edit a pull request and request review from Copilot: ``` gh pr edit --add-reviewer @​copilot ``` #### Close issues as duplicates with `gh issue close --duplicate-of` You can now close issues as duplicates and link to a duplicate issue directly from the CLI. The new `--duplicate-of` flag accepts an issue number or URL and marks the closed issue as a duplicate of the referenced one. You can also use `--reason duplicate` to set the close reason without linking a specific issue. ``` # Close as duplicate, linking to the original issue gh issue close 123 --duplicate-of 456 # Close with duplicate reason only gh issue close 123 --reason duplicate ``` #### JSON support for `gh agent-task` `gh agent-task list` and `gh agent-task view` now support `--json`, `--jq`, and `--template` flags, consistent with other `gh` commands. ``` gh agent-task list --json id,name,state gh agent-task view <id> --json state --jq '.state' ``` #### What's Changed ##### ✨ Features - `gh pr create`: login-based reviewer requests and search-based interactive selection by [@​BagToad](https://github.com/BagToad) in [#​12627](cli/cli#12627) - `gh pr view` and `gh issue view`: show friendly display names for all actors by [@​BagToad](https://github.com/BagToad) in [#​12854](cli/cli#12854) - `gh issue close`: add `--duplicate-of` flag and duplicate reason by [@​tksohishi](https://github.com/tksohishi) in [#​12811](cli/cli#12811) - `gh pr diff`: add `--exclude` flag to filter files from diff output by [@​yuvrajangadsingh](https://github.com/yuvrajangadsingh) in [#​12655](cli/cli#12655) - `gh pr view/list`: add `changeType` field to files JSON output by [@​yuvrajangadsingh](https://github.com/yuvrajangadsingh) in [#​12657](cli/cli#12657) - `gh repo clone`: add `--no-upstream` flag by [@​4RH1T3CT0R7](https://github.com/4RH1T3CT0R7) in [#​12686](cli/cli#12686) - `gh repo edit`: add `--squash-merge-commit-message` flag by [@​yuvrajangadsingh](https://github.com/yuvrajangadsingh) in [#​12846](cli/cli#12846) - `gh browse`: add `--blame` flag by [@​masonmcelvain](https://github.com/masonmcelvain) in [#​11486](cli/cli#11486) - `gh agent-task list`: add `--json` support by [@​maxbeizer](https://github.com/maxbeizer) in [#​12806](cli/cli#12806) - `gh agent-task view`: add `--json` support by [@​maxbeizer](https://github.com/maxbeizer) in [#​12807](cli/cli#12807) - `gh copilot`: set `COPILOT_GH` env var when launching Copilot CLI by [@​devm33](https://github.com/devm33) in [#​12821](cli/cli#12821) ##### 🐛 Fixes - Fix `gh project item-edit` error when editing Draft Issue with only one (`--title`/`--body`) flag by [@​ManManavadaria](https://github.com/ManManavadaria) in [#​12787](cli/cli#12787) - Fix extension install error message showing raw struct instead of `owner/repo` by [@​Copilot](https://github.com/Copilot) in [#​12836](cli/cli#12836) - Fix incorrect integer conversion from int to uint16 in port forwarder by [@​BagToad](https://github.com/BagToad) in [#​12831](cli/cli#12831) - Fix invalid ANSI SGR escape code in JSON and diff colorization by [@​BagToad](https://github.com/BagToad) in [#​12720](cli/cli#12720) - Fix assignees `databaseId` always being `0` in `--json` output by [@​srt32](https://github.com/srt32) in [#​12783](cli/cli#12783) - Fix error when `--remote` flag used with repo argument by [@​majiayu000](https://github.com/majiayu000) in [#​12375](cli/cli#12375) - Fix redundant API call in `gh issue view --comments` by [@​VishnuVV27](https://github.com/VishnuVV27) in [#​12652](cli/cli#12652) - Clarify scope error while creating issues for projects by [@​elijahthis](https://github.com/elijahthis) in [#​12596](cli/cli#12596) - Reject pull request-only search qualifiers in `gh issue list` by [@​LouisLau-art](https://github.com/LouisLau-art) in [#​12623](cli/cli#12623) - Prevent `.git/config` corruption on repeated `issue develop --name` invocation by [@​gunadhya](https://github.com/gunadhya) in [#​12651](cli/cli#12651) - Use pre-compiled regexp for matching Content-Type by [@​itchyny](https://github.com/itchyny) in [#​12781](cli/cli#12781) - Isolate generated licenses per platform (os/arch) by [@​babakks](https://github.com/babakks) in [#​12774](cli/cli#12774) ##### 📚 Docs & Chores - Add examples to `gh issue close` help text by [@​BagToad](https://github.com/BagToad) in [#​12830](cli/cli#12830) - Customizable install `prefix` in Makefile by [@​scarf005](https://github.com/scarf005) in [#​11714](cli/cli#11714) - Deduplicate scope error handling between `api/client.go` and project queries by [@​yuvrajangadsingh](https://github.com/yuvrajangadsingh) in [#​12845](cli/cli#12845) - Remove unnecessary `StateReason` and `StateReasonDuplicate` feature detection by [@​BagToad](https://github.com/BagToad) in [#​12838](cli/cli#12838) - Update Go version requirement to 1.26+ by [@​BagToad](https://github.com/BagToad) in [#​12864](cli/cli#12864) - Add monthly pitch surfacing workflow by [@​tidy-dev](https://github.com/tidy-dev) in [#​12894](cli/cli#12894) #####

Description
This PR fixes incorrect behavior when editing a Draft Issue with only
--titleor only--body:gh project item-edit --project-id 1 --id ID_**** --title "new title"Previously this updated the title but set the body to an empty string.
Now the existing body is preserved and only the title is updated.
gh project item-edit --project-id 1 --id ID_**** --body "new body"Previously this caused a GraphQL error: "Title can't be empty".
Now the existing title is preserved and only the body is updated.
The GitHub API’s
updateProjectV2DraftIssuemutation requires bothtitleandbodyin the input. When the user passes only one flag, we now fetch the current draft issue, keep the other field unchanged, and send a partial update.Fixes #12726
Changes
titleChangedandbodyChanged(usingcmd.Flags().Changed(...)) so we distinguish “user passed--title” from “user passed--body” and from “user passed both”. This allows correct partial updates and avoids overwriting the other field with an empty string.--titleor--bodyis passed, we fetch the current draft issue via anode(id)query and use its title/body in mutation for the field that wasn’t available.Queryon the shared client so item-edit can run the draft-issue fetch query.
