And even more data:

I added a body to the PR I was originally having trouble with: button stayed gray

I went away for a while, say 5 - 10 minutes, and when I went back to that screen the button was green. I created the PR.

Recently, I had to add a body text to create a PR (on another repo), otherwise the button would be grayed out. So that seems to be the reason.

I've had the same with the title... github has some heuristic about when a PR is ready to proceed with, which includes certain fields plus maybe requirements a project may have imposed, and in what's probably a gigabyte of hairy javascript, it appears to be confusable. The commandline client (gh pr create ) might avoid some of that mess?
