new to bitbucket - adding a jira ticket number in commit message doesnt seem to have an effect.

[simon.hobbs]

I notice that its possible to use a ticket name (e.g. AXY-1234) in a bitbucket commit message. I see that some people use #AXY-1234 and some without the hash. i am trying without the hash.

I see from this page there are advanced options such as setting the ticket to resoved: https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucket/use-smart-commits-298979931.html

I was hoping that putting the ticket id in the commit message would some how show up on the ticket, e.g. as a comment, or link, but nothing happens.  So the project manager does see a) that work was done and b) where the commit was.

Interestingly, our org does not use "resolve". When a dev checks in code to implement a feature, they change the status on the ticket from "in progress" to "in QA" . we dont necessarily want this level of automation, as its easy to do with a few clicks, but it would be REALY nice to have the ticket link to the commit.

Note, we commit to a release branch, so we rarely use master or develop branch.

Hello Simon,

you’ll most likely have to enable Smart Commits
