Suggest multi-line changes in Pull Requests

[Kajsa Anderson]

I'm attempting to use the feature called out in the Bitbucket Server 6.6 release notes to suggest changes directly in pull requests, via the suggestion block syntax.

Given the following in a pull request (as a trivial example):

   val first = pair.first
   val second = pair.second

I want to make a suggestion to replace both these lines with

```suggestion
    val (first, second) = pair
``` 

however, I'm not finding any information on how to make it clear that this suggestion should be applied to both of the source lines.

I've used a similar feature in GitLab pull requests, and was able to provide an argument to indicate (say I clicked on the line containing the second line in the example given) - I don't recall the exact syntax, but something like `suggestion-2+1`. Is there any syntax like this that will allow multi-line snippets of code to be changed directly in a pull request via this feature?

Hi @Kajsa Anderson the multiline suggestions are not yet supported by Bitbucket. What you can do is to try to add suggestions to both lines individually.

We do have a feature request for adding support for multiline suggestions: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BSERV-12219 

You can vote on that ticket and add yourself as a watcher. 

Thanks,
Maciej

So in the example I gave, would that require commenting on the first line with an empty suggestion?

[Maciej Adamczak]

Yes, the first suggestion would update the first line and an empty suggestion like this one below would remove the second line:

```suggestion
```

Here is the example

This is highly annoying for code suggestions that are more than 2-3 lines long.

the multiline suggestions are not yet supported by Bitbucket

And when it will be?

IT has been 10+ years!!!! (see link below) and still nothing ... this is a really bad UX limitation - literally any other known git platform supports this ...

Most of the time I have to use multi line suggestions. so this is unusable for me. But glad that it is in progress and will be available soon.
