How to trigger a dependent plan in Bamboo when using branches

Question

In Bamboo 5.6.1 is it possible to trigger a dependent plan if the parent plan (the plan that triggers) is using the branches features? As far as I understand, you can only trigger a child plan if that child has a branch of the same name. Is that correct? What we want is to trigger the child plan every time any branch in the parent is build without having to duplicate all the branches.

PARENT (branch FOO, branch BAR) -> CHILD

I too have this use case.  Has it been implemented yet?

We have same issue:

Plan A with (branch FOO , branch BAR) --> trigger upon successful completion Plan B(without branches)

Plan A (has release and dev branches and developers want us to build both branches at different time we will use trigger to do this ) --> after build is successful it needs to trigger PlanB (Regression jobs that will run on both parent branches at different time)

I do have a related scenario. So we're working with JGitflow on 2 projects. ProjectA has a branch Super Cool Feature. Project B also has a feature branch that depends on this project by declaring a maven dependency on project-a-super_cool_feature-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT .

So if a developer pushes changes to Project A's feature branch, I expect that the feature branch of ProjectB is built as well.
