I've recently updated to SourceTree version 2.4.8 and a change has been made to the behaviour / options when changing branch which disrupts my workflow.

In previous versions when changing branch the pop-up would give you a tickbox option to "Discard local changes", however since version 2.4.8 this option has changed to "Stash local changes".

I would like to have the previous "Discard" option back - am I able to change this in any way?

I'm running SourceTree on macOS Sonoma 14.3.

Thanks.

I agree, this change now requires me to discard changes manually before switching branches.

Same here, I would much prefer discard vs stash when switching branches
