Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

This is a copy of #188 which was closed as completed, even though the proposed solution does not work. That issue is in turn a copy of this issue on Bitbucket which was based on this original request from 2020.

Is it possible when using the Vs code extension and the 'Start Work' feature to create a branch, with all lowercase letters.

right now i have it set to {{{prefix}}}{{{issueKey}}}

and I would like to make issuekey lowercase

It is a common convention to only use (lowercase) kebab case in git branch names. Right now, it is impossible to follow that convention.

Please note that the solution provided by @marcomura—specifying {{{issuekey}}}[sic]—does not work. Contrary to what might be suggested in earlier iterations of this issue, text tags can no longer be entered. Instead, we now have 'tag' elements that we can add or remove (see screenshot below).

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like to see a way to choose how the issue key should be formatted.

Describe alternatives you've considered
A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.

Additional context

This example formats the ‘Issue summary’ correctly, but the ‘Issue key’ is uppercased: SP-2985 instead of sp-2985.
