Hi @Sowmya Sangati

I'm assuming you're referring to branch restrictions (Repository Settings > Workflow > Branch Restrictions).

To match any branch starting with hotfix, you'd need to use glob patterns in your branch restrictions configuration - for example:

* hotfix/* would match all branches starting with hotfix, including hotfix/test

If this is already setup, I'd check if the settings have changed recently to include other users as having WRITE permissions.

Other than that, there have been no changes recently to this branch type. Please let me know if this helps.

Cheers!
