I am unable to add my existing branch to my jira ticket.

Hi Team,

I need help in attaching my existing branch to some jira ticket. But in the development section there is no option related to add existing branch.

Please help me out in this.

Hello @Mahendra Prajapati ,

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

This question has already been answered in below threads:

• How to link existing JIRA issue to a existing branch in Bitbucket
• how to link an existing branch/pull request to a jira issue

In short:

1. In order to show in the development section of an issue the issue key must be included in the branch name 
2. There are below 2 feature requests open in our system to have this working without having the issue key in the branch name:
   • [JRACLOUD-72931] Ability to Link an Existing Issue to Any Existing Branch
   • [JSWCLOUD-18105] Allow linking a BitBucket branch with a Jira ticket without having to include the ticket key in the branch name

You may want to vote and watch the above feature requests so that you will get notified in case of any update. The requests will be addressed according to the Implementation of New Features Policy

Cheers,
Dario
