NAME
       pkgctl-issue-edit - Edit and modify an issue

SYNOPSIS
       pkgctl issue edit [OPTIONS] [IID]

DESCRIPTION
       The pkgctl issue edit command is used to modify an existing issue in
       Arch Linux packaging projects. This command allows users to update the
       issue's title, description, and various attributes, ensuring that the
       issue information remains accurate and up-to-date. It also provides a
       streamlined facility for bug wranglers to categorize and prioritize
       issues efficiently.

       To edit an issue, users must specify the issue ID (IID). By default,
       the command operates within the current directory, but users can
       specify a different package base if needed.

       The command allows for direct updates to the issue title and
       description. For more extensive changes, users can edit these details
       using a text editor. The command provides various options to set or
       update labels and attributes such as confidentiality, priority,
       resolution, scope, severity, and status. These options help maintain
       clear and organized issue management.

       In case of a failed run, the command can automatically recover to
       ensure that the editing process is completed without losing any data.

       This command is particularly useful for maintainers and contributors
       who need to update the details of an issue to reflect new information
       or changes in status. It ensures that all issue details are accurately
       maintained, facilitating efficient tracking and resolution.
