Commits missing from the activity side panel of the Pull Request page
Platform Notice: Cloud - This article applies to Atlassian products on the cloud platform.
We have an ongoing bug with the timestamp on the activity side panel, where the timestamp is not updated with the latest commit.
Please, check it in our bug tracker here: BCLOUD-22760 - pull request activity tab doesn't update the timestamp for the latest commit added to the source branch
Summary
When a Pull Request is updated, the user notice that the side panel is not showing all the newly added commits.
Example:
At the time of PR creation, it only has one commit
Then, the PR is updated with three more commits:
However, the side panel will show that the PR was updated with one commit:
Solution
This is actually the expected result when a push is made with multiple commits. Although the PR was updated with a few commits, since there was only one push, the side panel will show only the commit that is the head of the push.
Therefore, we can understand that the side card will only update once per push.
