Json type field support: gh issue list --json type #12477
Description
Describe the feature or problem you’d like to solve
Include issue type as an available field in the --json option.
Proposed solution
Including issue type as an available field in the --json option would be useful for including issue type in reports generated with gh issue list --json.
Additional context
Issue type was added to issues in 2025. If issues are now categorized with this new field rather than via labels, there is no ability to include issue type in reports generated vi gh cli.
