It looks like you try to use PULL_REQUEST option for repository that doesn't support pull request detections like Git or Subversion. Pull request detection is supported for Bitbucket Server and Bitbucket Cloud repository types

[Priyankabishnoi]

After deletion of all those plans and again merging with for-new-branch,, it worked fine. those repo are bitbucket server repo and now it is working,, these flakiness in yaml repo makes it very hard to debug issues and test things.
