Recent GitHub change breaks required workflows / branch protection rules

[MarvinJWendt]

Recently, GitHub announced to deprecate the old way of handling required workflows:

Starting September 20th, 2023, users can configure their workflows using rulesets in order to run and pass in selected repositories before merging their code. On October 18th, users will no longer be able to access Actions Required Workflows and must use rulesets in its place.

• https://github.blog/changelog/2023-08-02-github-actions-required-workflows-will-move-to-repository-rules/

This means, that since October 18th, required workflows are no longer working as expected.

i dont understand what you are trying to highlight with this. required workflows was a feature that was independent of branch protection rules and no specific support for them has been added to the settings app, so i dont understand the impact you are highlighting from that announcement

Sorry, maybe I misunderstood something in the blog post, all I saw was that my new repository did not apply the branch protection rules correctly (required Actions on PRs were not set). I figured it might have been this change, but yeah, maybe it's unrelated to the problem.
