How can I get the merge actor in custom merge check Forge app?

Question

I am developing a forge app that needs to check permissions on the person who initiated a PR merge. My forge app uses the "bitbucket:mergeCheck" module and the "on-merge" trigger.

I cannot find the "merge actor" in the event, context, PR object, or any other object available to me. I am only able to find the PR author, but this is not what I need.

Hi @Dinko Dermendzhiev ,

I'm not familiar enough with Forge to confirm whether this is supported. However, depending on what you're trying to achieve, you might be able to do it using Flowie, a Bitbucket app we provide. It includes multiple built-in checks that are highly customizable and may cover your use case, and if it is not supported, we usually manage to add support given Flowie's flexibility and extensibility features.

You might also want to try posting your question in the dev community.
