PR in BitBucket not updated with new commit

[Anishka]

If you do a forced push of a branch which has a PR the PR isn't updated. The branch view shows the new commit but in the PR no change is visible. If you decline and re-open the PR the change is visible.

Hello and welcome to the Community!

Are you using Bitbucket Cloud or Bitbucket Server?

Bitbucket Server

[Tyler T]

Do you have any branch permissions setup that might be preventing a force-push?

[Anishka]

The branch permissions consists of these 3 options :

1)Rewriting history

2)Deletion

3)Changes without a pull request

Do I need to change any setting ?

[Tyler T]

Are any of those options set? The rewriting history setting could be affecting your force-push issue.

[Anishka]

I deleted the 'Rewiritng History' option from the Branch permissions but It is also present in the Project settings .
And the user noted that the problem wasn't on master and this is needed for the Admins.

[Tyler T]

Yes, using the Prevent -> Rewriting history setting probably something you want to keep set on master. Your original issue was the the pull request didn't update in your feature branch.

If you are still having an issue I recommend you open a bug report with the support team so they can investigate this further: https://support.atlassian.com/contact/#/

I'm having this issue and I was told to ask the community.
