Fix the Add-Missing-Labels-to-Issues job error

[jdingeman]

Overview

Dev leads have noticed that the Add-Missing-Labels-to-Issues job is failing whenever we submit a new issue onto the project board. We need to correct the job so that it works correctly and adds missing labels to issues that are submitted for approval.

Action Items

• See associated issue ER: Add-Missing-Labels-to-Issues job fails when opening an issue #4129 for more information
• Familiarize yourself with GitHub Actions
• Understand the HfLA GitHub Actions by reviewing the wiki and the different GHAs we use
  • If you have not already done so, create a copy of the Project Board into your own repo (Tip 6: Creating your own Project Board)
  • Be sure to read up on using Personal Access Tokens to test the project board in your own repo (Tip 7: Using Personal Access Tokens to test in your own Project Board)
• See issue-trigger.yml and investigate what the issue may be
  • Determine if there are any deprecated functions that may be causing the issue
  • For testing purposes, create and edit tokens as necessary for your repo
• Make corrections to workflow and test in your local repo to ensure that it works
• Provide a demo to the merge team for review

@jdingeman Thanks for writing the issue!

• For the action item "Create a copy of the Project Board into your own repo," I'm not sure if newer developers are able to create a project board using Projects (classic), which is the type we are currently using. Maybe you can check with newer developers during a meeting to see if they are able to create a project board using Projects (classic).

Sent a message to the Slack channel asking devs to follow the steps of copying the project board. Hopefully I get a few answers to check if they are able to without needing special permissions.

@JessicaLucindaCheng - confirmed that devs do not need admin access to make copies of the HfLA project board.

@jdingeman This should have a link to the instructions you are going to add to the wiki about them copying the project board from our repo.
