This has the same root cause as #13622

I'm going to close this issue as the parent issue would subsequently fix this, and by mentioning it I've linked them together. 🙂

@jolheiser not sure if this is related. I do not even see this parameter returned by the api. Btw, the supposed parent is opened for two years. If there a solution for it?

Found it. The json must also contain has_pull_requests: true
e.g.

'{"has_pull_requests": true, "default_delete_branch_after_merge": true}'
