Hi Guys,

Our global repository is configured with the following additional refspec:

```auto
+refs/pull/*/merge:refs/remotes/origin/pr/*

```

This is for triggering test builds for updated pull requests on our GitHub server.

The thing is… since this refspec is included, it spams our branch selection drop down menu  
with all the pr/xxxxx branches, and makes it harder to find our recently updated branch we’d like to build from manually:

Can you allow filtering for the dropdown or suggest some other way to resolve this?  
We still need the refspec to actually be there, because we have some triggers that are configured to fire for these specific branches (^pr/.\*) when they are created/updated.  
but we don’t want to see them in the manual branch selection drop down menus.

Thanks!

We have added a Manual Branch Selection Filter option to all branch-aware repositories in [v1.9.2.1246](https://www.finalbuilder.com/forums/t/continua-ci-v1-9-2-1246-released/7434). This should allow you to filter out pull request branches from the Queue Options dialog
