[YAML] Checkout branch for linked repository

Question

Hi Team,

Is it possible to make "Override branch of a linked repository" using YAML spec configuration?

Bamboo version: 8.2.3

Hello @Valerii

In Bamboo, you can override the Repository Branch of a Linked repository on a Plan basis. Meaning the Plan will have a custom branch, but the Linked repository will remain unchanged. That will only work with the default repository of the Plan at the master-branch level as plan branches need to match the repository's branch name to work.

Check the following documentation for an example:

* Overriding branch of a linked repository

There is also a feature request that asks to allow overriding branches for non-default repositories in YAML specs:

* BAM-21066 - Allow overriding branches for non default repositories in YML specs

Make sure to vote on it and follow the ticket to be notified of any changes.
