Azure Branch PR Policy - Require Source Branch Be Up-To-Date

I'm trying to get quality branch policies on my develop branch and so far I've got some good basics:

What I want to ensure is that a source branch in a PR must be up-to-date with its target branch. I cannot seem to find this setting and was wondering if anyone knew if it existed.

GitHub has this as an available PR restriction:

Azure Branch PR Policy - Require Source Branch Be Up-To-Date

Indeed, there is no such directly option or description about this feature in Azure devops.

But after we are familiar with the branch policies for azure devops we will find an alternative, that is what 4c74356b41 said, add a Build validation:

Set a policy requiring changes in a pull request to build successfully with the protected branch before the pull request can be completed. Even if you're using continuous integration (CI) on your development branches to catch problems early, build policies reduce build breaks and keep your tests results passing.

When a build validation policy is enabled, a new build is queued when a new pull request is created or when changes are pushed to an existing pull request targeting this branch. The build policy then evaluates the results of the build to determine whether the pull request can be completed.

If a direct option is your ultimate goal, you could add a uservoice here, TFS PM will kindly review your suggestion.

Hope this helps.

if you enable a build validation it will have the same behaviour as the one you describe.
