Creating a template for pull request

[Aseem Chiplonkar]

Is there a way to create a pull request template?

It's easy with Github as mentioned here:

https://help.github.com/articles/creating-a-pull-request-template-for-your-repository/

Wondering if similar thing works for BitBucket too?

You now can, default Pull Request description

I'm sorry but this is not a pull request template, this is a fixed text without parameters.

[Peter Dolkens]

That's how the feature works - and is literally the implementation in this feature request.

Not sure how this got 8 upvotes :\

I might have been a little frustrated when I wrote the previous post. The functionality I was looking for was this:

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BCLOUD-17743?focusedCommentId=2260350&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-2260350

I don't suppose there is a way to do this for entire projects, or (even better), the entire instance for our org?  The thought of going through and setting this manually for every single repo in even a single project makes me want to run, screaming, into traffic.

Also, is there a syntax guide and/or variable list anywhere?  The preview and suggested markups all do not work.

Hi Aseem,

Unfortunately, it's not possible to create a pull request template on Bitbucket Cloud as for now. There is an existing feature request for this feature here: https://bitbucket.org/site/master/issues/11571/custom-pull-request-description-template

Is there an option to provide a custom description but keep the "auto" populated commit messages to? Something like a placeholder e.g. %commits%?

Did you find any solution?

[Jeremy Rademan]

It would be great if we could do this?

@Jeremy Rademan @Andreas Katzian you can use the following as documented here

# Commits
{{commit_messages}}

For now the best thing to do is to make one based on something like this

https://github.com/angular/angular/blob/main/.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md

or something like this https://github.com/codica2/pull-request-best-

practices/blob/master/.gitlab/merge_request_templates/Task.md

save it somewhere and copy and paste it in.. because the bitbucket default does not exist,
