Fixing Bamboo yaml spec usage to default branch

[Rene Wittmann]

Is it possible to force Bamboo to use the Bamboo Specs from default branch (for every branch) instead of using the Bamboo Specs from the specific branch?

If not, what are the options to merge the default branch Bamboo Specs into the specific branches?

I guess that "Automatic branch merging" in the Bamboo Specs is not an option? It seems like the plan is first "set up" and then the merging is applied, so the changes in default branch cannot/will not be considered...

I think this is possible with Bamboo 8.0.0 and newer. It is also possible with any version of Java Specs.

The way you do it is to store your specs in a different repository than your project code. You'll have then to explicitly defined repository list in your YAML specs to skip the specs repository but check out the project code instead: https://docs.atlassian.com/bamboo-specs-docs/8.0.0/specs.html?yaml#repositories.
