Create plan branch using YAML specs

[Balaji]

Hi,

  I have a requirement that I wanted to create a plan branch using YAML specs. Please let me know this feature is available or not in bamboo.

Hello @Balaji

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

In Bamboo, there are two ways to have Branches created via a Specs plan:

• Enable branches with a code spec like this:

branches:
  create: for-new-branch
  delete:
    after-deleted-days: 7
    after-inactive-days: 30

•  Use Enhanced Plan Branches

Hi, 

 Can you please confirm that this will over inherit the stages/tasks from parent branch and will create a new branch. I am not able to reproduce my expectations.

Hello @Balaji

Plan branches will inherit the default branch Specs. They will only diverge from the default branch (be enhanced branches) if the contents of the bamboo-specs folder are different from the default one and if they are coming from a Bitbucket Server or Bitbucket Cloud Server (on Bamboo 9)

If you use Plan branches and the branch already exists on your Git repository, you'll need to create the branch manually in Bamboo by clicking on the "Create plan branch" icon next to "Plan branch" on the top right when checking the Plan configuration.
