Task names should be descriptive enough so that you can understand the backlog just by skimming through it. However, using only IDs for branch names isn't very helpful. It'd be good to be able to provide a "short title" or a "slug" to be used for new branches.

I would love to have more options like the parent task name for hierarchical project structure something like and
projectKey-:taskId:-:parentTaskName:-:taskName:
So the branch has more context
Project: User Dashboard
Project Key: UD
Task Id: cad12c1
Task Name: Activity Timeline
Parent Task Name: Inventory Widgets
Generated name
ud-cad12c1-inventory-widgets-activity-timeline
additionally allowing other start names than CU which I am assuming it is ClickUp initials
