Add possibility to create a branch with all lowercase letters including the issue key

[Dario B]

Original request from: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Software-questions/Can-you-create-a-branch-with-all-lower-case/qaq-p/1531769

Is it possible when using the Vs code extension and the 'Start Work' feature to create a branch,  with all lowercase letters.

right now i have it set to `{{{prefix}}}{{{issueKey}}}`

and I would like to make issuekey lowercase

Any news on this? Following branch naming conventions should not be made hard by using an integration like this.

I agree with Hans. Make this happen, please!

It looks like the account of Gregory Star, who is the assignee for this issue, has been deactivated. How do we bring this under the attention of the developers?

+1! Please make this happen! Not sure how to be more helpful here…

I'm learning that if you use VS Code and install the Jira extension, there's a way to create branches with lower case! But I still haven't found a way to accomplish this using Jira's website.
