Work Item and Pipeline Stage records refer to this object. This object is available in API version 66.0 and later. ## Supported Calls create(), delete(), describeLayout(), describeSObjects(), getDeleted(), getUpdated(), query(), retrieve(), search(), undelete(), update(), upsert() ## Fields | Field | Details | | --- | --- | | IgnoreRules | Type textarea Properties Create, Nillable, Update Description Serialized JSON representation of the preprocessed contents of the .forceignore file on the branch. | | LastReferencedDate | Type dateTime Properties Filter, Nillable, Sort Description The timestamp when the current user last accessed this record indirectly, for example, through a list view or related record. | | LastViewedDate | Type dateTime Properties Filter, Nillable, Sort Description The timestamp when the current user last viewed this record or list view. If this value is null, and LastReferenceDate is not null, the user accessed this record or list view indirectly. | | Name | Type string Properties Create, Filter, Group, idLookup, Sort, Update Description The name of the branch as it exists in the source control provider. For example, feature/WI-000001. | | ParentRemoteReference | Type string Properties Create, Filter, Group, Nillable, Sort, Update Description The unique identifier of the parent branch from which this branch was originally created. In GitHub, this ID is called a SHA. DevOps Center uses this ID to recreate the branch if necessary. | | RemoteReference | Type string Properties Create, Filter, Group, Nillable, Sort, Update Description The unique identifier representing the latest synced state of this branch in the source control provider. In GitHub, this ID is called the HEAD SHA. | | RemoteReferenceDate | Type dateTime Properties Create, Filter, Nillable, Sort, Update Description The last date and time when the branch identified by Remote Reference field was last updated or synced. | | SourceCodeRepositoryId | Type reference Properties Create, Filter, Group, Sort Description The ID of the parent SourceCodeRepository record in which the branch lives. This field is a relationship field. Relationship Name SourceCodeRepository Relationship Type Master-detail Refers To SourceCodeRepository (the master object) | | Status | Type picklist Properties Create, Filter, Group, Nillable, Restricted picklist, Sort, Update Description Indicates the current health or sync state of the branch. Possible values are: - DEPLOYMENT\_ERROR—A deployment to the environment associated with this branch failed. - MERGE\_CONFLICT—A conflict exists between this branch and its target promotion branch. | ## Usage Use this object to track the state of the feature branch every time a developer starts a new work item. Similarly, each stage in a pipeline is mapped to a specific branch defined in this object. It stores remote references (commit SHAs) and tracks sync issues like merge conflicts. ## Associated Objects This object has the following associated objects.
