@Richard Feldman I wanted to start working on the next item in https://github.com/roc-lang/roc/issues/3513 (X86 dev backend Num functions), but I can’t seem to convert individual tasks to issues any longer. @Brendan Hansknecht suggested I ping you saying this might be a permissions issue caused by the repository going public.

ah, I suspect that's because:

so I think an easy system we could transition to is to create another issue and then leave a comment on the main issue that you've split off another one

and then whoever made the original issue can edit it to add the link, when they get around to it!

as an aside, I'm excited that you're working on the x86 backend - that's really awesome! :smiley:

Just to double-check: are you suggesting that I create this separate issue to track the subset of tasks that I will be working on so that I have full edit access?

oh I was thinking just make another issue to track the 1 that you're working on, and then leave a comment at the bottom of the original issue linking to the new one

like "hey FYI I'm gonna start working on this one, here's an issue for it: [link]"

that is less nice though. Brendan could also just make issues for the first X items

If we are fine with issue spam, I can start making a bunch of sub issues.

works for me! :+1:

I think we may still have too much of a restriction? I can't seem to assign the newly created issue to @Christoph Rüßler . I can only assign the issue to a maintainer. Maybe he can sell assign? https://github.com/roc-lang/roc/issues/3792

Also, spinning off sub tasks is mildly more work than I thought. Github doesn't just creates a blank issue with the direct name. So I have to add a prefix to the name, re-add labels, re-add the project, and edit the description to link back to the original task for some more context.

Not hard, just will take more time than I expected.

I assigned @Christoph Rüßler. You can only assign people that are not a member of the organization after they left a comment :shrug:
From what I could find this is a fixed rule and can not be changed in settings.

That is a weird set of permissions.
