i dont think it is possible, only the one it shall be merged into
yeah you’re right. but i concerned when it created so many, it seems to hard to manage
This should be an option for user to specify branch name
Agent always creates a /cursor/randombranch which you then merge into which ever branch you like.
I am running into this need as well because we have a branch naming convention that includes the Jira ticket in the name, so that we can link the branch to the ticket. This missing configuration is blocking us from using Background Agents.
Ideally, the branch that is linked in the Cursor Agents web interface should be the custom-named branch. The “Open PR” button should use the custom-named branch as well.
Claude Code appears to be missing this configuration as well, and the first product to get this working will get our adoption.
EDIT: Double-checking myself
@tlmader that would be a great post in Feature Requests
@tlmader did you submit a feature request? We need this too. We name/tag docker images based on branch (and have similar JIRA requirements for PRs) and / characters are illegal in Docker image tags.
I haven’t, feel free to do so
