My default branch when creating background agents in Cursor is 'master' instead of 'main' and I can't change it

Describe the Bug

My default branch when creating background agents in Cursor is ‘master’, but the default branch of our repo is ‘main’. I’m on version 1.2.4. I think I could define the base branch on a previous version of Cursor but don’t see how to do it on this version. How can I change this?

Steps to Reproduce

N/A

Expected Behavior

Expect the base branch for background agents to be ‘main’ and not ‘master’

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue
