Atlassian vscode question: When selecting "Start Work" - How set default configuration ?

Question

When I click "Start to work" all the default settings are false.

I would like the default transition to be "In Progress" and the default branch to be origin/develop ....

If you know where I can configure the default settings for "Start to work" Thank you

Hello @Boudjelal Yannick and welcome to the Community!

After you click on the Start work button in a Bitbucket Issue on VS Code Extension, a new page will open where you have the option to start a new branch. If you unselect the Start a new branch option, VSCode will not create a new branch for the issue, and will just assign the issue for you and keep it in the branch that was previously checked out :

So if you always want to work on the development branch, you can first check out that branch in VSCode, and after clicking on Start work in the Issue, you can uncheck the setup git branch, so VSCode will not create a new branch, and will keep on the development branch.

Since the above is a workaround, if you would prefer to have a way to set the default transition and branches you can suggest this as an improvement for the VSCode extension by navigating to the Extension settings and clicking on Send Feedback button:

Thank you, @Boudjelal Yannick !
