"Filter branches" pipeline filter no longer shows most recently updated branches

Feedback & Bug Reports

We’ve noticed a problem with the pipeline filter UI: the branches offered in the “filter branches” dropdown aren’t sorted the way they used to be (I think they used to be most-recently-updated first), and the current sorting leaves out our main branch (which is named “dev”). Even if I type in “dev” it does not appear as an option, even though it was recently merged.

I can scroll through the pipelines, find one for the “dev” branch, and select it from there, so I know the pipelines are there!

I don’t understand the current sort order; we’re seeing some branches that have been quiet for many months, many that have been merged and deleted, and some of our most recently-updated branches don’t make it into the dropdown at all. It doesn’t appear to be an alphabetical sort, nor based on the age of the branch.

Thanks for flagging this issue. We’ve implemented a fix that’s now live so the branch filter should be working as expected. If you’re still seeing any problems, feel free to reach back out.

Thank you. This is still different from what we were seeing up to a couple of weeks ago, but because of how we’re naming our branches, it puts our long-lived branches at the top. If it includes all of the branches, that definitely solves our problem.

I think the branch filter used to automatically show only “recently” pushed branches (we use the Github integration). Sometimes that was annoying, but it did keep the selection list shorter. I would welcome the ability to select a “newer than” cutoff in addition to the “older than” that was recently added.
