Currently, Bitbucket supports CODEOWNERS for auto-assigning reviewers only when a pull request is created via the web UI.

However, this functionality is not available when creating a pull request through the Bitbucket API (POST /2.0/repositories/{workspace}/{repo_slug}/pullrequests).

Please extend support for CODEOWNERS to the Pull Request API, so that reviewers are auto-assigned based on the CODEOWNERS file even when a PR is created via API. This will ensure consistency across CI/CD workflows and improve automation for teams relying on programmatic PR creation.
