'Depends on' does not work when added later

🐛 Bug

It seems that the 'Depends on' CI check does not work if you edit the OP later and add it, see https://github.com/napari/docs/pull/416.

Not super important though.

Unfortunatelt you have to retrigger it manually (I just did it) for it to work, or push some new commit, otherwise the workflow won't run!

Could do something like the edit_pr_description: https://github.com/napari/docs/blob/main/.github/workflows/edit_pr_description.yml

The idea being to also trigger the check when the PR description is edited.

Actually that's what the docs for the action have:

on:
  pull_request_target: 
    types: [opened, edited, closed, reopened]

jobs:
  check_dependencies:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    name: Check Dependencies
    steps:
    - uses: gregsdennis/dependencies-action@main
      with:
        custom-domains: my-custom-domain.io another.domain.com
      env:
        GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
