I've been using Bitbucket for a few months now. I was asked to restrict developers from merging with develop branch unless they're the lead developers.
I created a branch restriction in develop branch. This works fine when feature branch cannot merge with develop branch without the lead developers approving and merging them.
Feature branch does not have any branch restrictions.
However, we have another branch called backlog. The backlog branch also has branch restriction just like develop.
When we tried to merge develop to backlog, it requires permission from lead developer which is fine. However, even lead developer cannot merge it.
I'm thinking, is it possible to exempt merge permission from develop to backlog and vice versa? Any branches wanting to merge with develop needs permission.
