How to configure Bamboo plan to trigger , when a pull request is created only to target branch

Question

How to configure Bamboo plan to trigger the creation of a plan branch, when a pull request is created only to the target branch(master/Develop). I would like to avoid setting all stage's tasks as conditional, based on the variable repository.pr.target.Branch.

Please suggest solution for this ?

Hello @Prakasam A

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

Having the ability to match a specific source and target repository branch when configuring the automatic branch creation settings with pull requests is currently not available in Bamboo.

We have an open feature request that suggests adding the ability to match and expression when creating a Plan branch when coming from a Pull request:

* BAM-19825 - Branch regular expression filter for automatic PR detection

Please be sure to watch it, and vote on it, so that you're notified if this is implemented in a future release. You can even add a comment with your specific requirements so the developers can consider it.

For your reference, you can find our policy on how we prioritize feature and improvement requests on this page. I have also added an internal link to this case so that the developers can reference it if necessary.
