Malformed label error for labels including a colon

[pmeier]

We use labels might include a colon such as module: datasets. The label section of the issue template looks like this:

labels: 
    - bug
    - "module: datasets"

Trying to open an issue with this template fails (see https://github.com/pytorch/vision/actions/runs/271212579 for an example):

It seems that label is correctly recognized as string. Thus, I assume some internal parsing is causing this.

@JasonEtco I've debugged this locally and it seems the issue lies with tools.github.issues.create:

create-an-issue/index.js

Lines 42 to 48 in e6b4b19

	const issue = await tools.github.issues.create({
	...tools.context.repo,
	...templated,
	assignees: assignees ? listToArray(assignees) : listToArray(attributes.assignees),
	labels: listToArray(attributes.labels),
	milestone: tools.inputs.milestone || attributes.milestone
	})

I've created a local test with the same labels as above and it runs fine. Given that the GitHub API call is mocked out, I suspect the problem there. Since you are also the owner of JasonEtco/actions-toolkit could you transfer this issue if my hunch is right?

Ignore this. I was able to create an issue with the exact same template in a clean repository. Thus, I now suspect our repo configuration is somehow messed up.

The only thing you could take from here is probably a better error message. I was hung up on the "unusual label" and it took me quite some time to figure out that it has nothing to do with it.
