Create a git branch from Jira in VSTS?

Question

We currently use BitBucket cloud and Jira, so I know the create branch link in a Jira issue can be used to create a branch in BitBucket.

We're now moving to VSTS (as a code repo), and I was wondering if it's possible to configure the link somehow to create a branch in VSTS?

If not - is there any other add-on that supports this scenario (i.e. create a git branch in VSTS from a Jira issue)?

If anyone got an answer on this it would be great to update the thread, as we are facing the same issue.

I would contact support@bigbrassband.com since they are the vendor of the app.

I do see a Create branch, but it's currently pointing to bitbucket.

I dug a little into the system defined add-ons and modules, and in the add-on

Atlassian JIRA - Plugins - Development Integration Plugin

There are a couple of suspicious modules, namely:

Create Branch CTA Link Factory (devstatus-cta-createbranch-link-factory)

Create Review CTA Link Factory (devstatus-cta-createreview-link-factory)

BitBucket Create Branch CTA Link (devstatus-cta-createbranch-bitbucket-cloud-link)

All of which indicate "Module cannot be modified".

So the question is:

1. Can we work with BitBucket and VSTS in parallel?

2. If not, how do I disconnect from BitBucket and point it to VSTS?
