Body

I want to choose to close an Issue only when all linked PRs are closed, not a single PR when there's more PRs listed.

Guidelines

• I have read the above statement and can confirm my post is relevant to the GitHub feature areas Issues and/or Projects.

I think GitHub currently closes the Issue as soon as any linked PR with a closing keyword (fixes #123, closes #123, etc.) gets merged.

A possible workaround is:

• avoid using automatic closing keywords in individual PRs
• manually close the Issue after all related PRs are merged

Or use a small GitHub Action that checks whether all linked PRs are closed before automatically closing the Issue.

This would definitely be a useful native feature for workflows where one Issue depends on multiple PRs.

Yeah, but It would be nice-to-see this in "Vanilla" GitHub as well.
