Customization of backported commit message

See original GitHub issue

Would it be possible to customize the message of the cherry-picked commits? Instead of Backport of ... in the body, I’d like to copy the original commit description, adding a trailing: (cherry picked from commit xxxxx).

See https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/commit/443d30888edc2e9fe71700eebf79dcf3814b0f01 as an example.

Would it be possible to expose the original commit message and sha as variables to be used inside the description?

Thanks,

Isn’t that going to create issues with Github? From what I can tell the PR body is used by GH for the commit message - at least that’s been my experience (not sure if it’s UI specific thing).

I don’t think that’s a problem. According to the docs Github will use the the commit message (and not the PR body) if there’s only a single commit. If there are multiple commits the PR title, and the list of commit messages will be used. So in both cases the “cherrypick reference” will always be included
