How to only add label, not remove when PR is opened?
I have a labeler action set up for when PR is opened, using all your default settings. The labeler YAML is set up as such (relevant parts listed below):
Docs:
- docs/*
coordinates:
- '**/coordinates/**/*'
When astropy/astropy#11023 was opened, the only file changed was docs/coordinates/apply_space_motion.rst. By the labeler logic, it should apply Docs and coordinates.
However, the PR author already manually applied Docs label at creation time. As a result, the labeler ended up removing the Docs label. Is this a bug? How do I tell it to simply no-op when a label that should be applied is already there?
Hope you can help and thanks for such a useful action!
Strangely enough, accidental removal did not happen for astropy/astropy#11028 when the file changed was only docs/conf.py and Docs label was also applied manually when PR was opened.
(The Action ran successfully but it was a no-op, as expected.)
There hasn't been much progress in the conversation, but I also want to solve this problem. By removing the manually attached tags, the benefits gained by labelar are diminished.
It looks like the problem is https://github.com/actions/labeler/blob/590628261a373c5bb0bbfbb751555f06766aace0/src/labeler.ts#L18
which is not correct because the default value is "false", and !!"false" == true.
Confirmed, you can work around this bug by setting
sync-labels: ''
in your workflow.

Thanks for this, can also confirm this works in v4. Any plans to fix this properly in the next version?
