Body

We are in the process of deprecating our github action https://github.com/marketplace/actions/azure-app-configuration-sync I am wondering is it possible to add a badge (Deprecated) next to the action on marketplace letting users know that the action has deprecated?

Thank you for the prompt reply. I am getting this error - Property deprecation is not allowed.

deprecated property also still not allowed. Any other options?

Azure App Configuration Sync

⚠️ Deprecated

This GitHub Action is deprecated and will no longer be maintained. Please use alternative-action instead.

This action syncs Azure App Configuration settings with your GitHub repository.

The best approach is to add a deprecation message for existing users with the deprecation message string to log a warning:
https://docs.github.com/en/actions/creating-actions/metadata-syntax-for-github-actions#inputsinput_iddeprecationmessage

This should help with existing users. Then the advice to just update the 'experience' of your listing with deprecated badges etc is going to be the best approach for the marketplace listing itself. We don't have a strict badge you can change for that :(
