Hey - I've found 2 issues, and left some high level feedback:

• The issue template frontmatter is split into multiple --- blocks; GitHub expects a single YAML frontmatter block at the top, so consider merging all metadata (name, about, title, labels, assignees, type, projects) into one block.
• To actually auto-apply the feature label as described, set labels: ['feature'] (or equivalent) in the frontmatter instead of leaving it as an empty string.

- The issue template frontmatter is split into multiple `---` blocks; GitHub expects a single YAML frontmatter block at the top, so consider merging all metadata (name, about, title, labels, assignees, type, projects) into one block.

## Individual Comments

### Comment 1
<location path=".github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/feature-template.md" line_range="3" />
<code_context>
+---
+name: Feature Template
+about: Template for new features to DataFed
+title: "[Feature] Feature Title"
+labels: ''
</code_context>
<issue_to_address>
**suggestion (typo):** Consider rephrasing the 'about' line for more natural grammar.

"Template for new features to DataFed" reads a bit awkwardly. Consider "Template for new features in DataFed" or "Template for adding new features to DataFed" for more natural wording.

```suggestion
about: Template for adding new features to DataFed
```
</issue_to_address>

### Comment 2
<location path=".github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/feature-template.md" line_range="1" />
<code_context>
+---
+name: Feature Template
+about: Template for new features to DataFed
</code_context>
<issue_to_address>
**issue (bug_risk):** The repeated '---' blocks split the front matter in a way that may not parse correctly.

There are two separate `---` blocks around the template metadata, with an extra one before `type: feature`. GitHub issue templates expect a single front-matter block, so these should be merged into one to ensure correct parsing.
