How to add branches starting with release under 'Branches allowed to deploy' in Repository settings?

Question

I have more than 2 Release branches and will be more in future I want to add all the branches starting with Release to the 'Branches allowed to deploy' in repository settings-> Test environment, I am looking for any glob pattern, something like this : release/* , but not this as it is not working.

Hi @Gangadhar Malana and welcome to the community.

The glob pattern release/* should work if you are running builds based on branches and if the deployment step has the deployment keyword with the name of the environment where you set up this rule, e.g. like this:

- step:
    name: Deploy to staging
    deployment: Staging
    script:
      - echo "Deploy to staging"

* Could you please let us know how you have configured builds in your yml file for release/* branches?
Are they running as part of the default pipeline?
Or do you have a definition forbranches:
  release/*:

Or a different setup?

* Does the deployment step have the keyword deployment along with the name of the environment where you set up this rule?
* When you say that this is not working, do you mean that commits in other branches trigger the deployment step as well?

Kind regards,
