How to set changelog-types at root level?

[WTPOptAxe]

We're using the release-please github application and want to configure changelog-types. https://github.com/googleapis/release-please-action states that this can be set at the root level, but I can't find any documentation on doing this without the action.

Is it possible to have changelog-types set once for all packages in release-please-config.json ?

Creating a config as below triggers a schema failure warning in github with the following message:

[
{
"instancePath": "",
"schemaPath": "#/additionalProperties",
"keyword": "additionalProperties",
"params": {
"additionalProperty": "changelog-types"
},
"message": "must NOT have additional properties"
}
]

config

{
  "changelog-types": [
    { "type": "feat", "section": "Features", "hidden": false },
    { "type": "fix", "section": "Bug Fixes", "hidden": false },
    { "type": "style", "section": "Styles", "hidden": false },
    {"type": "chore","section": "Miscellaneous Chores", "hidden": true,"bump": false},
    { "type": "refactor", "section": "Code Refactoring", "hidden": false },
    { "type": "ci", "section": "Continuous Integration", "hidden": false }
  ],
  "packages": {
    "src/app1": {
      "package-name": "app1",
      "changelog-path": "CHANGELOG.md"
    },
    "src/app2": {
      "package-name": "app2",
      "changelog-path": "CHANGELOG.md"
    } 
  },
  "release-type": "simple",
  "bump-minor-pre-major": true,
  "separate-pull-requests": true
}

changelog-types is the old property name, you need to use changelog-sections instead. The properties of the release-please-config.json are explained here https://github.com/googleapis/release-please/blob/main/docs/manifest-releaser.md#configfile

Thanks - that's working better.

From what I'm reading there, I can't seem to include chore entries in the CHANGELOG unless I also trigger releases on chores. Is that correct?

If I use the following, chore's don't appear in the CHANGELOG when I do a feat or a fix. But if I change hidden to false, then any new commits with chore commits create a release.

{
      "type": "chore",
      "section": "Miscellaneous Chores",
      "hidden": true,
    },
