This release brings GitHub's advanced issue features to gh issue create, edit, view, and list. You can set and view an issue's type, organize work with sub-issues, and track blocked-by and blocking relationships without leaving the command line:

# Set an issue's type
gh issue create --type Bug
gh issue edit 123 --type Bug

# Organize work with sub-issues
gh issue create --parent 100
gh issue edit 100 --add-sub-issue 123

# Track blocked-by and blocking relationships
gh issue create --blocked-by 200
gh issue edit 123 --add-blocking 300

Issue types and sub-issues are available on GitHub.com and GHES 3.17+; relationships require GHES 3.19+.
