How to Create Branch automatically in transition?

[Daniel]

I would like to be able to create a branch using the same name as the JIRA issue on Bitbucket. The creation of such branch shall happen, when there is a transition from A->B. Such states (A and B) are already defined in my Workflow, but the builtin triggers, does not allow me to perform such task.

Am I missing something or do I need to do it, in a different way

Any one?  I do not think I am the only person that requires this type of functionality

Yes I want it too, but still having trouble to make this setup with GitHub Actions.

Hi @Daniel,

welcome to the community.

The workflow triggers are for triggering transitions inside Jira and not for triggering actions when a transition happens. You should rather have a look at post-functions.

I don't know of any out of the box creation, but you could create a branch via a script where you call Bitbucket's REST API.

Just to make sure - you know about the development panel in the Jira issue view to create a branch from there, right? 

Cheers,
Matthias.
