How to create a PR with correct description?

Lukasz Ciastko

How can I create a PR in Bitbucket with the correct description? When I open the Create a Pull Request Page, Bitbucket preselects the last updated branch as Source Branch. If that branch has many changes, after switching the Source Branch, the PR Description doesn't change and lists all the changes made to the preselected branch and not the selected branch. It's hard to navigate this if there are dozens of commits.

Hi Lukasz,

Thank you for reaching out. I have been able to reproduce this issue and it is a bug. I went ahead and opened a bug report in our issue tracker here:

• https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BCLOUD-23002

Our development team tracks bugs over there and will post an update on that issue when this is fixed. Please note that we don't provide ETAs and bug fixing is implemented as per our policy here.

You can add yourself as a watcher (by selecting the Start watching this issue link in the bug report) if you'd like to get notified via email on any updates. You can also select the This affects my team link to indicate you are affected by this issue.

In the meantime, doing a hard refresh on your browser before switching the source branch should work (i.e. the PR description should get updated if you change the source branch after doing a hard refresh).

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

Kind regards,
Theodora
