question: how to use github context in config file?

@h3n4l - One option you can try is to use environment variables to set the name config value in the .gitbub/workflow/release-drafter.yml file instead of in the template. We use date-based versioning for our project, so I did this:

# .github/workflows/release-drafter.yml

name: 'Release Drafter'
run-name: 'Release Drafter'

on:
  push:
    branches: [ main ]
  pull_request:
    branches: [ main ]
    types: [ opened, reopened, synchronize ]

permissions:
  contents: read

jobs:
  update_release_draft:
    runs-on: [ ubuntu-latest ]
    name: Update Release Draft
    permissions:
      contents: write
      pull-requests: write
    steps:
      - name: Set Environment Variables
        run: |
          echo "RELEASE_NAME=[Draft] Next Release" >> $GITHUB_ENV
          echo "RELEASE_TAG=v$(date +'%Y.%m.%d')" >> $GITHUB_ENV
          echo "RELEASE_VERSION=v$(date +'%Y.%m.%d')" >> $GITHUB_ENV

      - name: Draft Release
        uses: release-drafter/[email protected]
        with:
          commitish: main
          name: ${{ env.RELEASE_NAME }}
          tag: ${{ env.RELEASE_TAG }}
          version: ${{ env.RELEASE_VERSION }}
          publish: false
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
