Deeplink to edit page on Bitbucket Server

Question

I would like to link to a file on our on-premise Bitbucket Server and enter edit mode immediately. Is this possible? I can get it to work on Bitbucket Cloud using `?mode=edit`, but this doesn't work in Server.

Using `?at=<Branch>&useDefaultHandler=true` I can get to the correct view, but that's as far as I got :)

It has a lot to do with the fact that Bitbucket Server and Bitbucket Cloud were originally different products from each other and were built by different teams (Bitbucket Cloud was an acquired product while Bitbucket Server, originally called Stash, was built in-house). So while there are a lot of similarities because at a high level they do similar things, there will be some differences between them as features are developed in each to fit best with their current feature set and target audiences.

Thanks, voted. I'm a bit surprised at the feature disparity between Cloud and Server to be honest, seems weird.

Hi @Matthijs Hakfoort,

We currently don't support deep linking to edit mode in Bitbucket Server. I've added a feature request (BSERV-11061) that you can vote for and watch.
