| Matching conditions | Include custom fields that you want as part of the condition builder.Move the required fields from the Available list to the Selected list. Let’s consider a scenario with two PRs, PR1 and PR2. For these PRs to be merged, the values in the fields defined in the matching conditions must be identical in both PRs. For example, if the matching conditions contain the Cost center and Legal entity fields, PR1's cost center must match PR2's cost center, and the same goes for their legal entity values. |
