Just a small change, a PR against the support branch is enough. (No need to add reviewers etc.). I just realized we can filter on a branch in the PR list.

(ensure no merge conflicts) NOTE: Ensure that the commit you are trying to backport is already merged into develop. Also, the PR against the support branch needs to be a cherry pick. (git cherry-pick -x) For Release Manager: * Monitor the release dashboard for "blocks-1.1x" tickets * Send out communications if there are any issues. * Squash-merge the PR if it the commit message is properly structured with cherry pick message in the last line.
