Bitbucket Server 5.16.0 won't except the API change to update auto-unapprove setting

[Former user]

I have 70+ project repositories. I need to have the repos flagged=true for the pull request setting "Unapprove automatically on new changes". I executed the following command which returns HTTP/1.1 200, but the setting remains false (box is unchecked).

curl -u user:passwd -X PUT -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"unapproveOnUpdate": "true"}' http://bitbucket.domain.com/rest/api/1.0/projects/test/repos/test1

Hi, it looks like your URL is incorrect (missing /settings/pull-requests off the end), and you're using PUT instead of POST.

It should be:

curl -u user:passwd \
    -X POST \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    -d '{"unapproveOnUpdate":true}' \
    https://bitbucket.domain.com/rest/api/1.0/projects/test/repos/test1/settings/pull-requests

Hope that helps!

Additionally, we have now implemented project level settings in this plugin (issue #16), so if you upgrade to the latest version of the plugin you should be able to configure the default settings in the UI at the project level (for all repos in that project) or at the global level (for all repos everywhere).
