Confusion of repo name between index page and home page and jira automation

Josh Bouganim_n8ie2d

In the BB list repo page: 

https://bitbucket.org/<org-id>/workspace/repositories/

the repo names are listed as their slugs even though the repo names might have upper case letters (or other non-url friendly characters). The real repo name is only displayed on the repo home page.

This screwed up my jira automation because the jira docs specify {{repository.name}} which i pulled from the index page when drafting the automation. my automation kept failing and it took me a while to figure out that jira needs real repo name with the upper case letters.

this is very confusing.

couple suggestions:

• {{repository.name}} should use the repo slug (like all other apis) or add {{repository.slug}}
  • update the docs
• bitbucket should display the real repo name on the index page
  
  

i tried to fix my automation by making the repo name all lower case via the repo details menu and i got an error:
