GitHub Copilot Now Suggests Values for Custom Repository Properties

GitHub Copilot now suggests relevant allowed values when an admin creates a custom property definition for repositories in their organization.

Details

• What it does: Copilot analyzes the property being defined and suggests relevant allowed values automatically
• Why it helps: admins often struggle to decide which properties and values to use for repository metadata; the suggestions speed up taxonomy creation and promote consistency across an organization’s repositories
• Where it applies: surfaces at the enterprise and organization level when creating new custom property definitions, available on Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise plans, with availability managed through the Repository custom property suggestions policy

What happened next

The feature is a small but practical governance aid, aimed at making it easier for organizations to enforce consistent repository metadata policies at scale rather than leaving taxonomy decisions to trial and error.
