Must-share information (formatted with [Markdown](https://commonmark.org/help/)):

- which versions are you using (SonarQube, Scanner, Plugin, and any relevant extension)

- what are you trying to achieve

> Hi there, It’s possible to [prevent merge of PR in BitbucketCloud](https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucket/suggest-or-require-checks-before-a-merge-856691474.html) when the Quality Gate of SonarQube (8.7 or higher) or SonarCloud is failed.
