### Proposal
<!-- Use this section to explain the feature and how it will work. It can be helpful to add technical details, design proposals, and links to related epics or issues. -->
<!-- Consider adding related issues and epics to this issue. You can also reference the Feature Proposal Template (https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/.gitlab/issue_templates/Feature%20proposal%20-%20detailed.md) for additional details to consider adding to this issue. Additionally, as a data oriented organization, when your feature exits planning breakdown, consider adding the `What does success look like, and how can we measure that?` section.

2. update existing `Update merge request` [REST API Resource](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/lib/api/merge_requests.rb?ref_type=heads#L644) to accept `mergeafter` as a field.
