When starting a new build, it would be helpful if there was a drop down at the top to pick the main branch with human readable names: - master - Pyro (2.3) - Morty (2.2) - etc Picking one of those should populate all the repository entries with the right branch names (doing the right thing for bitbake branches). The intention should be that I can do a morty build and override just one branch without accidentally doing a build of morty with master bitbake or other layers, which will fail.
FWIW this would be extremely valuable to me too.
Sadly this didn't make it for M3, it's a pretty minor AB change (only to the UI code based on my PoC) so may make it in time to help with the M4 testing.
This change is currently more intrusive than I'd like (modifying two of the built in templates of the web status plugin) but is functional pending a little more testing.
