How to prevent updates to pull request

Question

Is there any plugin to control the updates to an open pull request? Once the requester has submitted the pull request for a branch, they should not be able to update it. Either the pull request is to be automatically denied or should prevent updates to the branch.

Balazs, thanks for your comment.
a) I thought I'd give Harish the information.
b) yes, it is an advert with the intent of helping at the same time. Perhaps next time I will stick to answering the question and not throw in extra features.

This sounds like
a) overkill for the task at hand (both in price and complexity) and
b) an advertisement for your product rather than an actual answer to the question.

As well as the plugin Balazs suggested, there is another Add-on you will likely find useful called ScriptRunner for Stash.

You can read the documentation about the functionality, ScriptRunner for Stash too can withdraw approvals whenever a Pull Request changes.

It also gives you the ability to control a number potentially undesired events as a Pre-Hook (i.e before the git push is successful).

There is a short video available about the typical Pre-Hooks you might use so you can quickly assess if you might find it useful. The other functionality you will likely find useful is the Auto Add Reviewers to Pull Requests video.

I hope it helps.
