Azure DevOps Trigger build on release/{version} branch

Question

For Azure DevOps, how can you automatically build when you create a release branch in the formation release/{version}?

Looking at the triggers tab of a build, the filter allows me to select a branch, but that is only for pre-defined branches, and not a branch type / format.

I don't know yet what the branch name will be as it will follow a version string format like release/{major}.{minor}.

Any ideas how this can be achieved?

Answer 1

you can just type in whatever you like, so in your case use:

release/*
