I would like my PRs labeled with "dependency" and the type, such as "python", "javascript", etc. as dependabot would do.

I have this in my config, but apparently doesn't work.

  "labels": [
    "dependencies",
    "{{category}}"
  ],

Basically I want the "category Id" from this table as a label on the PRs. https://docs.renovatebot.com/modules/manager/#supported-managers

I know about the https://docs.renovatebot.com/configuration-options/#addlabels option, but would prefer not to have to create packageRules for every category if possible.

Looking at https://docs.renovatebot.com/templates/#other-available-fields it might be {{categories}}?

[ReenigneArcher]

I thought that as well, though I wasn't sure what would happen if there are multiple? I guess it would put them all into one label instead of creating multiple labels?

Did you work out what to do?

I'm wondering if you can use Handlebars to split them, perhaps?

[ReenigneArcher]

I just used {{categories}}, didn't try to split them.

If I understand correctly from https://docs.renovatebot.com/templates/#split it would be like {{ lookup (split categories',') }} (I assume they are comma separated or maybe , , but I'm not sure on that).

P.S. I really appreciate all the support to my several questions. This is top notch!
