Why does pull request not show for reviewer

Lauri Ahlroth
January 28, 2026

I have been assigned as reviewer in a pull request created three months ago (2025-10-17). I get email notifications when something in PR changes, and I can interact with the PR normally as a reviewer. PR shows me as reviewer when opening the PR page. PR is not merged or declined.

My problem is that I do not see this particular pull request in my "Pull requests to review" list on bitbucket overview. Other pull requests I see normally. Review status (approved/requested changes/unapproved) or filters for the list are not changing the visibility either.

Why would a pull request not show up in "Pull requests to review"?

Found the reason eventually.

If you are not a reviewer, but do reviewer actions such as approving or requesting changes in a PR, the system starts (falsely) displaying you as a reviewer for the PR. Under the hood, you are still not a reviewer so "pull requests to review" excludes the ticket.

Isn't this possible that the PR is marked as "draft"?

"Draft" pull requests are not shown by default on several screens and contexts.

The PR is not a draft, and other draft PRs are visible. So there must be still something else going on.
