Enable close branch when pull request merged by default

[Timothy Chilvers]

Is there a way of having default behaviour to check the "Close <branch> after the pull request is merged" rather than the current default of leaving it unchecked?

Timothy, 

As best as I can tell, what you are requesting is not possible. I found an open feature request for the feature in the Atlassian JIRA.

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BSERV-9254

Thanks, 

Kian

Is there a way to +1 tickets in Atlassian's Jira?

That link shows that in BB Server v7.3.0 deleting source branch after merging option will now be selected by default when you merge a pull request but what about Bitbucket Cloud?
