Is there a way to configure custom branch prefixes?

Question

In Bitbucket Cloud do only feature, hotfix, bugfix, release branch prefixes exist or is it possible to create custom prefixes that I could then choose from in the drop down menu (and not having to choose Custom prefix and ten type the prefix down manually each time)? For Bitbucket Data Center Atlassian recommends Create Branch Wizard for Bitbucket app.  But what about Bitbucket Cloud?

Hi, I'm an engineer working on the code review flow in Bitbucket Cloud. I'm curious to hear about your workflow and what it is you're trying to achieve that feature, hotfix, bugfix, release doesn't cover?

Hi @vancakova and welcome to the community!

I'm afraid that there is no way to create custom branch prefixes at the moment. I had a look at Atlassian Marketplace here:

* https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?sort=topSelling&query=branch&product=bitbucket&hosting=cloud

but I couldn't find any apps that provide this functionality for Bitbucket Cloud.

We have a feature request for what you are asking:
