For example, an issue has 6 tasks:

How to get this list of tasks using GraphQL query?

There exist trackedIssues under content for issues, but that only shows tracked issues, and not all tasks.

Any tips are welcomed.

I haven't found it either, I guess it's not supported (yet).

A more impure workaround would be to get the bodyHTML and count the occurrences yourself.

# example: https://github.com/junegunn/fzf/issues/1191
text=$(gh api graphql \
	--raw-field owner=junegunn \
	--raw-field name=fzf \
	--field number=1191 \
	--raw-field query=$'query ($owner: String!, $name: String!, $number: Int!) { repository(owner: $owner, name: $name) { issue(number: $number) { bodyHTML }}}' \
	--jq '.data.repository.issue.bodyHTML')
echo "$(grep -c '<input[^>]\+type="checkbox"[^>]\+checked' <<<"$text") of $(grep -c '<input[^>]\+type="checkbox"' <<<"$text") tasks"

# 4 of 15 tasks

Thanks for the workaround :)
