Bug: safe-outputs::dispatch-workflow does not support cross repo dispatch

[jitran]

Hello 👋

Does safe-outputs::dispatch-workflow support cross repo dispatch?

My workflow failed with:

Warning: Failed to load handler for dispatch_workflow: E004: Cross-repository dispatch to ‘ORG/REPO’ is not permitted. No allowlist is configured. Define ‘allowed_repos’ to enable cross-repository dispatch.

I followed the instruction to define allowed_repos under dispatch-workflow but the compilation failed which stated that allowed_repos is not a supported attribute.

There’s definitely logic in AW that processes allowed_repos https://github.com/github/gh-aw/blob/main/actions/setup/js/dispatch_workflow.cjs#L50-L65, but there seems to be another layer that’s not allowing that setting.

Is this the expected behaviour?

Thank you

@copilot cross repo workflow dispatch should be allowed (the user will likely have to provide a custom token to support this ). Check that the parser/compiler/js allows this scenario.
