Jira - create branch automatically

Question

Hello,

My company has bitbucket, and Jira.

For some of the user stories I have, I need 10 branches.

The current solutions:

1. Create a Jira story, or have one already

2. create a branch, Enter the following: Select: repo A, Branch Type: feature, branch from: master. Leave branch name default. Save

3. create a branch, Enter the following: Select: repo B, Branch Type: feature, branch from: master. Leave branch name default.  Save.

repeat this for repo C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J.

I was wondering if there is a a way to do this automatically?

Yes, agreed that is reverse.

Hi @Yogesh Mude,

I think, it is the other way round. The trigger will transition the issue when a branch is created. That is, at least, what also is described in the articles that you link.

So if you add the "Branch created" trigger to the "Todo - In Progress" transition, Jira will use that transition when you create a new branch for this issue.

HI @Daniel Brazil

Welcome to the community!

User Workflow trigger it will create automatically branch in bitbucket when the transition happens let say Todo --start to progress.

In this case, you need to add the Branch created trigger on In progress transition whenever transition will happen it will create automatically branch in Bitbucket.
