Unable to select any other prefix other than Bugfix

[d2dgustave]

Describe the bug
After clicking on Start Work on a Jira Issue, I am unable to select any other value in the Prefix field. It always results in Bugfix no matter what I select.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open a Jira Issue in the extension.
2. Click on "Start Work"
3. Scroll down to Prefix field. It should be showing Bugfix
4. When trying to change the Prefix value to Feature, it will go back to Bugfix.

Expected behavior
The selected value should be shown and the corresponding prefix should be reflected in the branch name,

hi @d2dgustave , thanks for reporting this issue.

Can you please confirm if this is a regression introduced in 3.8.4, or if this bug exists also in 3.8.3 ?

[jbrunette]

I can confirm this. Both Branch Prefix and Source branch are switched to the first option in their respective lists whenever a new Branch Prefix is selected.

Started with 3.8.4.
3.8.3 works as expected.

Thanks for reporting the issue @d2dgustave and @jbrunette .

We have fixed it in the release 3.8.5 which has been just released.
Please, confirm it's working correctly in the new version.

Thanks!

This is almost fixed, but it looks like there's a cosmetic bug in 3.8.5 related to this:

• Changing the Branch Prefix still causes the "Source branch" dropdown to switch to the first item in its list

However, that appears to be merely cosmetic as the "Local branch" does reflect the correct branch based on what was originally chosen and "Start" does create the correct branch. Should probably still fix that though as it does look confusing.

Thanks @marcomura @jbrunette . 3.8.5 has fixed it for me. Changing the prefix sets both the dropdown and the name of the branch. I don't see the current issue that @jbrunette is seeing.

[jbrunette]

I double checked and I still see the issue. Uninstalled/reinstalled 3.8.5 extension, same:

1. Open a Jira Issue in the extension
2. Click on "Start Work"
3. Change "Source branch" to anything other than the first branch in the list
4. Change "Branch Prefix" to something other than what is currently selected

"Source branch" has now changed back to the first item in the list.

Oh I see. Yes, I have the same behaviour here. Source branch changes back to first item when the Branch prefix is set to something else.
