Can I add a custom field to the bitbucket branch name format in a Jira software ticket?

Our git naming convention starts branches with a development type: "feature/", "bugfix/", and the like. 

Right now our new branches created from a ticket use {issueKey} - {issueSummary}. 

We have a custom field named "Development Type" on our tickets, and I would like that to come before the issueKey. Something like this {Development Type}/{issueKey}-{issue-summary}.

Is this possible? No custom fields appear in the options for changing the name, and I can't find a syntax using {}, "", '', $ or anything else that will recognize I am entering a custom field.

Hi @Logan Kitchen 

No I'm afraid that's not possible. You can only use the available options.

The settings in your screenshot are also only valid on a per user basis. So it's basically a personal setting.
