Problem Definition

Some users would like to implement a custom merge check that prevents a merge when the linked Jira issue is not in the correct status. They would also like the merge check to be evaluated when the status of the linked Jira issue changes.

The on-merge trigger can be used, which is invoked when someone tries to merge a PR. But some users would like to know ahead of time whether the PR is good to merge based on the Jira ticket's status.

Suggested Solution

Add a custom merge check trigger based on the PR's linked Jira issues' status
