    Description

      Currently in Bitbucket Cloud, when having the merge check “Reset approvals when the source branch is modified“ enabled, the pull request reviewers that were auto-added because they used the Approval button/Requested changes get removed from the reviewers list when there is an update in the source branch of the pull request (new commit)

      Steps to reproduce :

      • Create a Pull Request with no reviewers. The repository should have branch restrictions with the merge check “Reset approvals when the source branch is modified“ enabled
      • Ask a user to approve the pull request or request changes. The user will be auto-added as a reviewer
      • Push a new change to the source branch of the pull request
      • The approvals will be reset, and all the reviewers that were auto-added by previous approvals will be removed from the PR.

      The same does not happen if the reviewer is manually added using the "+ Add Reviewer" button in the left side-card of pull request, or if the reviewers are added during the pull request creation page.

      This feature request is for auto-added reviewers to not get removed from the PR when the merge check is enabled (the approvals should still be reset, but the auto-added reviewers should be kept as reviewers of the PR).
