Why Default Task are not applicable to release branch (Destination)?

[Jeevan Mahesha]

[Michael Rüegg _Mibex Software_]

If you do not mind a separate app, you can create specific tasks for different branch types (including release branches) with our Checklist Buddy for Bitbucket Cloud.

It uses configuration as code for the definition of the default task rules, which allows reviewing changes by peers, tracking changes over time and all the other benefits Git has over UI-based configurations.

To restrict default tasks for certain branches, you can use this syntax:

--target release/* +task+ Release notes ready?

Besides the configuration of the source/target branch, it is also able to create content-dependent default tasks, e.g.

--files /app/*.jsx +task+ UI changes visually inspected on IE/Edge

creates the default task only if the PR contains any React JSX files.

For more information, please check the app documentation.
