Merging into develop branch causes feature branch to be deleted

I work on a project that uses git and Atlassian bitbucket. When we merge a feature branch into our develop branch, the feature branch's remote seems to get deleted. But that only seems to happen when we merge into develop - not when we merge into another feature branch. Is the deletion triggered by a setting from within git? Or by a setting in bitbucket?

The "delete source branch after merge" option is not visible to me. Clearly it exists, per the Atlassian link you provide.

It sounds this is disabled. Unfortunately I cannot find how they could disable this.

I guess this is a plugin in Bitbucket then. For example, the plugin PullRequest Workflow has an option to delete branches when the target is a specific branch (range).

But maybe it's one of these things where if you don't have authority to change the setting

Sounds a good question for the Bitbucket admin on your side ;)
