Is it possible to enforce a PR to always have a link to a JIRA ticket?

[Carlos K]

I don't want PRs without linked Jira tickets because it's impossible to find what the change is related.

I can't seem to find a straight answer in the documentation, or through Google searches.

Can anyone please help?

Hi @Carlos K,

Welcome to the Atlassian Community.

It is possible to force a commit to have a reference to a Jira issue, but you need an app for it. I have looked at Smart Commits for Bitbucket and Better Commit Policy for this, and I know there are other apps in the Marketplace that can do this too.

Hi Carlos,

I can't think of any way how this would currently be possible. As a premium user, you can enforce merge checks, so a PR cannot be merged unless certain requirements (eg a green build and approval) are met. An attached Jira-Ticket is currently not an option for that, but might be a good idea.

You can suggest new features for Bitbucket Cloud here.

Thanks, Max.

This is an option in other competitor products, and since there is already a JIRA integration with Bitbucket, I would assume this should be a standard feature! :-)
