Automatic creation of a branch when changing from "to do" to "in progress"

[geabenitez]

I am using PhpStorm to development, I have connected the issues to it and I can change the status of the issue from the IDE. 

I know If I go to jira and click on create branch i can get the issue to be changed to in progress, but can I automatically create a branch when changing from to fo to in progress, so I can get it done from the IDE instead of going to the website. ?

Sure,

You need to use the Bitbucket API:

https://docs.atlassian.com/bitbucket-server/rest/4.0.3/bitbucket-rest.html 

Use POST with the address below:

/rest/api/1.0/projects/{projectKey}/repos/{repositorySlug}/branches
