Make PR template field mandatory

[shailesh-vaidya]

Hello Team,
Currently, we can add a PR template and make it mandatory however users can keep it empty or keep fields as default without editing it. Can we make PR template fields mandatory by any method?
Maybe one way to create GitHub action is to query PR and check that required fields are selected.

I think that’s the way to go for now - externally check if the submitted PR complies to your guidelines.

PR templates are just that - templates. You can just clear the text field and type anything you want; enforcement is currently not possible.

Is this still not possible? The solution i created for this is to read the PR message via bash script to check for the fields needed then fail a github action to flag it failed.
