Jira - create branch automatically

[Daniel Brazil]

Hello, 

My company has bitbucket, and Jira.

For some of the user stories I have, I need 10 branches. 

The current solutions:

1. Create a Jira story, or have one already

2. create a branch, Enter the following: Select: repo A, Branch Type: feature, branch from: master. Leave branch name default. Save

3. create a branch, Enter the following: Select: repo B, Branch Type: feature, branch from: master. Leave branch name default.  Save. 

repeat this for repo C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J.

I was wondering if there is a a way to do this automatically?

HI @Daniel Brazil

Welcome to the community!

User Workflow trigger it will create automatically branch in bitbucket when the transition happens let say Todo --start to progress.

In this case, you need to add the Branch created trigger on In progress transition whenever transition will happen it will create automatically branch in Bitbucket.

Please visit the below articles for more details...

Hi @Yogesh Mude,

I think, it is the other way round. The trigger will transition the issue when a branch is created. That is, at least, what also is described in the articles that you link.

So if you add the "Branch created" trigger to the "Todo - In Progress" transition, Jira will use that transition when you create a new branch for this issue.

HI @Bastian Stehmann

Yes, agreed that is reverse.

Thanks for correcting me.
