If you're unable to enable Run on Pull requests, you'll want to make sure your existing repo was not added via the Deploy Key auth method.

If it was added via a deploy key method, you'll want to use the [GitHub auth method](/docs/cloud/git/connect-github) to enable CI in <Constant name="dbt" />.

To go ahead and enable 'Run on Pull requests', you'll want to remove <Constant name="dbt" /> from the Apps & Integration on GitHub and re-integrate it again via the GitHub app method.

If you've tried the workaround above and are still experiencing this behavior - reach out to the Support team at support@getdbt.com and we'll be happy to help!
