Unable to "Merge without waiting for requirements to be met (bypass rules)"

[CoreyKovalik]

Duplicate issues

• Bypass merge requirements not working on stacked PRs #186
• Allow "Merge without waiting for requirements to be met (bypass rules)" #226

Desired outcome

Have the same functionality to "Merge without waiting for requirements to be met (bypass rules)" for GitHub Stacked PRs.

The problem & reproduction

"This stack is out-of-date with its base branch

When a PR at the bottom of the stack is out-of-date with the base branch (main in this case) and is approved, you can merge it if your branch protections allow you to do so. All PRs above it in the stack lose their approval due to the rebase (this is expected).

Switching over to the next PR in the stack that has now become the bottom of the stack, it's unapproved (which is expected), however, you lose the ability to "Merge without waiting for requirements to be met (bypass rules)".

The workaround solution was to:

1. Unstack the PR to get out of the preview feature

2. Merge without waiting for requirements to be met (bypass rules)
