I’m looking for a way to add develop in the Long-lived branches

I changed the pattern to contain only develop, but it is still not present.

Any idea of a way to have main and develop as long lived branches

Hi @Thierry_Paret ,

Could you share the configuration you’ve set?  
Also, did you run analyses after you changed the configuration?

Thanks,  
@AlxO

Hi Thierry,

Which version of SQ are you using?

With 8.1/8.4, the concept of short-lived and long-lived branches disappeared, and all branches are now long-lived and give you the full results.  
[https://docs.sonarqube.org/latest/setup/lts-to-lts-upgrade-notes/#header-2](https://docs.sonarqube.org/latest/setup/lts-to-lts-upgrade-notes/#header-2)

Before that, you need to delete the branch in SQ, then run a new analysis to turn a short-lived branch into a long-lived branch after changing the pattern.
