Add New Branch missing from Visual Studio Devops Work Items

We migrated from Jira to Azure Devops for easier integration for our workflow, and have been managing work items assigned to our team from within Visual Studio.

Once connected to our organisation, developers could open the Team Explorer -> Work Items tab and right click an item to create a branch to start the ticket.

This option has now disappeared from all machines, including mine (I'm the organisation global admin on Azure AD).

As seen:

Azure Work Items

Previously this menu had a "Add Branch" option which is the only way to create a new branch for a ticket without going through a labourious git sync workflow.

Is there a way to configure which options appear on this menu, or get them all back?

Generally reconnecting your Azure DevOps account from Visual Studio will solve the issue.

For example, just open up Visual Studio, connect to DevOps, and clone a project, it opens the folder view. You can then switch to solution view. If you go through that process, you can right-click and have the missing options for work items appear.

Or just reconnect your ADO account, then open a version control solution from Team Explorer or just click "Continue without code".
