### Problem to solve Ability to specify the default target branch for merge requests on a per branch basis. Alternatively having to force select a target branch for merge requests (defaults to none). ### Intended users Developers ### Further details Usecase: Repository has releases StableBranchX StableBranchX-next (feature that will go into StableBranchX) StableBranchY StableBranchY-next (feature that will go into StableBranchY) The default merge request target branch for StableBranchX-next should be StableBranchX and for StableBranchY-next should be StableBranchY. This way developers don't accidentally merge StableBranch*-next into the default branch. Alternatively an option to not have a default target branch and forcing the developers to choose might work too. ### Proposal In the repository settings, expose an option to specify the default merge request target branch on a per branch basis... or have an option to force specify the target branch. ### What is the type of buyer?
