Change in SourceTree version 2.4.8 when changing branches

[liamlacey]

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.

Bump / +1.  "Stash" instead of "discard" is awful.

Please let users select the behavior with a check box in preferences!

is it possible to "downgrade" ?

upd:

anybody that stuck with it can download version 4.2.7

I now have tons of useless stashes. Please allow us to discard

[Serhii Blazhko]

+1 to get back "Discard local changes"!

[Joseph Ryan]

Incredibly annoying! Please bring back the option to discard

[Mike Donner]

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

Yes, same for me, this is annoying
