Description

I activated protected branch with white list access :

When I force push, I have the following message :

remote: Gitea: branch master is protected from force push        
To https://try.gitea.io/gigix/test.git
 ! [remote rejected] 4e308e02f18c0a51c687b32ff9699949e16204c4 -> master (pre-receive hook declined)
error: impossible de pousser des références vers 'https://try.gitea.io/gigix/test.git'

Is there an issue with withite list on protected branch ?

I think it is intended behaviour. Without whitelist you can not even commit to that branch only use PRs

Whitelist allows certain users regular pushes, it does not allow force pushes.
Prevoiusly protected branch push whitelist allowed wide range of operation, even branch deletion, but this was fixed in #4607 and now it does allow what is said in the description.

Thank you for your reply.

If I need to enable merge whitelist, I must enable Branch protection.

Branch protection can be done by custom Git scripts hook. But if I want to code custom Git scripts hook for activate protected branch with force push then I can't enable merge whitelist without activated branch protection.
