Create branch in Bitbucket action in automation raises "Branch name can't contain ' '"

Hi, I'm automating bitbucket branch creation on issue creation using "Create branch in Bitbucket" action. In the branch name I wanted to reference the issue key and summary so I used Jira smart values in the branch name field: issue.key-issue.summary.

When testing I get this error:

Error trying to create branch:

EE-4-front issue auto test (Branch name can't contain ' ')

 I think this is because the issue summary contains spaces. This is fixed when creating the branch from the issue directly using the "create branch" button. Jira replaces the spaces in the issue summary with dashes '-'. But in automation this doesn't happen.

So is this a bug or is there a way to do this somehow?

Thanks

I found the solution. To replace the spaces with dashes in the issue summary using Smart Values this did it: 

{{issue.summary.replace(" ", "-")}}
