Not able to create a branch from the ticket.

Michelle.Theriot

The option to create a branch for a ticket used to be on the ticket itself. For the past few months we have no longer seen the option to create a branch on a ticket on the "new view", but have been able to click on "see the old view" in order to see the button to create a branch for the ticket.

Today, there is no button to "see the old view" so I am also not able to create a branch to start work on my next ticket.

This is a blocker for me at this time. I'm going to have to work with some of my colleagues to find some other way to create a branch to start working on a ticket.

Please bring the option to create a branch for a ticket back.

So I resorted to going to BitBucket to create the branch. Once there I found a new "Jira Issues" area within the repositories in BitBucket for creating branches off of Jira Issue tickets. One drawback to that is that if you need to create a branch in more than one repository in BitBucket for a Jira Issue you have to go to the Jira Issues area in each repository in BitBucket to create the branch.  

It appears that within Jira there is no longer a way to create a branch from a Jira Issue ticket, that this is now done in BitBucket instead in the Jira Issues area for each repository.
