Recently, in our company we moved from Bitbucket to GitLab. In Jira Development Panel we can see commits, branches and pull requests, but we cannot create branch directly from Jira issue to GitLab. When we were using Bitbucket, this option was available.
So, I've just installed Jira Data Center and GitLab testing versions to see if it is possible to create branch directly from Jira to GitLab, and I have a problem. Jira <--> GitLab integration was done correctly, because the repositories were synchronized, and I can check commits in Jira issue, but still can't create a new branch.
Jira/Bitbucket integration:
Jira/GitLab integration:
I have used DVCS Connector to integrate Jira and GitLab.
Both Jira and GitLab on production are self-managed.
Hello @Kamil Borkowski
Welcome to the community.
I think that creating branches from Jira in Gitlab is not actually supported. I traced through several documents to find confirmation.
As per this document
https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/integration/jira/
... if you are using the DVCS connector then it seems like you should have the Create Branch option in Jira.
But according to this document
... it seems like Jira will only display information from Gitlab, and not support creating Branches.
And then I found this issue
https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWSERVER-14412
... which says "full" support for Gitlab integration was introduced with Jira Server v8.14. What version are you using?
Tracing through additional documents I found this one
https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver/integrating-with-development-tools-938846890.html
... which says that for Github and Gitlab, development information can be "viewed". For Bitbucket it specifically also calls out being able to create branches, but not for Github/Gitlab.
