Hey folks, As a repo admin using Graphite's Merge Queue, I need to be able to override approval requirements in order to enqueue PRs/Stacks. Right now the Merge button is completely disabled, with no option of admin override capability - before switching to Graphite's merge queue, I was able to administratively override requirements for regular stack merge. Is there a configuration that I should be enabling on the GH side, or is this functionality simply not possible from Graphite's point of view for queues like it is for regular merge?

Hey There! You should be able to queue as a fast track, however it is limited to 1 at time, please see screenshot attached. Thanks!

I have no ability to open that modal for any PR that is not ready for merge (e.g. needs reviewers, as you've shown there)

For what it's worth, I do have fast-foward enabled - though it doesn't seem like that's possible to invoke from my UI Using FireFox if that's relevant Edit: Realized you can get that modal with command palette 'm', but I still am not able to fast-track when "needs more reviewers"

You should! Can you give me the PR you are working on and I will take a look? Thanks!

Hey Chris, disabled our existing rulesets in favor of legacy branch protection rules and that enabled my ability to click on the Merge drop down again. I guess the functionality I'm looking for is the ability to override approvals for an entire stack of PRs by means of enqueueing them all into a merge queue the same way they can be queued when all approval requirements are met. Forgive me, as I'm unable to share the PR stack in question at this time.

Good catch on rulesets, with active GitHub rulesets Graphite won't offer admin override for merge/queue unless your GitHub user is on the ruleset bypass list. Fast-track is single-PR only (not whole stacks) and won't skip missing reviewers in that setup. There's no stack admin-override enqueue like regular merge today. Can you share org/repo (no stack needed) and confirm rulesets vs legacy branch protection? https://graphite.com/docs/set-up-merge-queue Thanks!

Org/Repo: Adaptive-Inventions/zamboni We are now using legacy branch protection exclusively
Definitely a bummer, I think admin-override enqueue would be our most desired feature at this time. Really appreciate your help!

This is good feedback for the team and I have added this to our improvements board. Thanks!
