Priorities

Priorities help you triage your backlog. Set urgency levels so the most important work surfaces first during planning.

Set priority

Priorities range from 1 (urgent) to 4 (low). Unset is 0.

xpo update <id> --priority 1

Or set it when creating an issue via JSON:

echo '{"title": "Critical fix", "priority": 1}' | xpo add --json
