AzureDev Repos, how to change target for pull request

Question

I have created a pull request in AzureDevops Repos. Pull request is from "green_branch" into "master". I would like to change the target of this pull request from "master" to "develop" but I cannot find anywhere any "edit" button.

How can I change the target of pull request?

You can use the option:Change target branch in Pull Request -> more action button(...)

Then you can select the target branch in the list.

@Electric Is there any update about this ticket? Can you confirm if the Change target branch option can meet your requirement? – Synod

out of curosity, are you some kind of Microsoft support? I will check the issue of course but I have different tasks with bigger priorities and I align them myself. Do not worry for sure I will check and accept your answer accordingly. – Electric

Yes, I am an engineer working on azure DevOps related issues – Synod

that is very interesting to know. In fact I have many issues related with devops since I started working with it this month, also many suggestions for improvement from the usability perspective. If anyone would be interested to hear them out let me know:) – Electric

also seeing amount of upvotes I guess the place to change the target is in not most intuitive place. It should be rather some small button just next to the branch name which suggest chaning the target. – Electric
