Webhooks are not firing unless the 'main' branch is active

[tim-fiola]

In the main branch, there are webhooks configured to fire upon a PR create/update event:

When I create a new PR from the main branch (to merge a non-main branch into main), the webhooks fire:

In the non-main branch, it shows no webhooks configured:

It's not permitted to create non-versioned objects (like webhooks) on the non-main branch

[tim-fiola]

It looks like the rub here is that you have to create a branch from main after you've defined the webhooks in main, then the hooks will come through to the non-main branch:

in this scenario the webhooks will fire when the PR is created when the non-main branch is active
