So we want to implement branches as described in this article:

Manage branches with Thinkwise | Thinkwise Community (thinkwisesoftware.com)

And the automatically protected branch names:

https://docs.thinkwisesoftware.com/docs/sf/overview#:~:text=corresponding%20runtime%20configuration.-,Protect%20a%20branch%E2%80%8B,remove%20protection%20as%20needed.,-You%20can%20recognize

In our current situation, we have feature branches with origin DEVELOP, with origin MAIN. How can we create a branch RELEASE between DEVELOP and MAIN?

Let’s say we roll-up all our branches back to the main and archive them.  Then we can create a RELEASE branch from the main, but then we can’t create a branch named DEVELOP from the release branch, since there is already a archived branch DEVELOP. And we can’t rename it either.

Some advice?

Hi Dave,

Current way to do this is to merge Develop to MAIN, make Develop not protected and delete it. Thereafter create the desired branch structure from starting MAIN. For example: MAIN > RELEASE > DEVELOP (This branch will actually still contain old history data because history data is not cleaned after deleting a branch)

(Renaming model and branches is currently not possible due to all underlying history tables)
