VCS Branch specifications with wildcards trunk branch name.
Completed
(using GIT)
I have setup my VCS root :
Default Branch : refs/heads/BITS-9675-test_drive_stuff
And I also want to watch all branches with the BITS-9568 prefix.
Branch specification: +:refs/heads/BITS-9568*
Our branch on GIT all have the "BITS-xxxx" prefix.
And : 
When I look in the view for my build, there is a dropdown menu with : 
The list is missing the prefix "BITS-xxxx"
I think it should be "refs/heads/BITS-9568-license_sdk_1.4.28" or "BITS-9568-license_sdk_1.4.28"
Is this normal ?

Hello Maximilien,
The highlighted branch name is a logical branch name (https://www.jetbrains.com/help/teamcity/working-with-feature-branches.html#WorkingwithFeatureBranches-Logicalbranchname); long story short, logical branch name here is equal to remote branch name with branch specification rule excluded (that is, minus refs/heads/BITS-9568).
If you want to include the prefix into logical branch name, I`d suggest to update branch specification for the VCS root to:
+:refs/heads/(BITS-9568*)
This will ensure prefix is included.
On a separate note, branch filter above allows any branch. Could you please let me know if you would like to limit branches for this configuration to just default branch and +:refs/heads/(BITS-9568*)? In this case it may be worthwhile to replace +:* with a more specific condition, such as +:refs/heads/BITS-9675-test_drive_stuff.
