Branch name preview aliases not being created

Hi! I'm running a github actions CI pipeline to create cloudflare preview deployments for every pull request using https://github.com/cloudflare/pages-action. https://developers.cloudflare.com/pages/configuration/preview-deployments/#preview-aliases mentions that preview aliases should be created automatically with the format <branch>.<project>.pages.dev. However I'm not seeing any preview aliases being created except for head.<project>.pages.dev. Otherwise the preview deployments are working fine and are accessible at <hash>.<project>.pages.dev. Could anyone help me figure out why the branch name preview aliases are not being created? Snippet from my github actions workflow file:

      - name: Publish preview deploy
        uses: cloudflare/pages-action@1
        with:
          apiToken: ${{ secrets.CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN }}
          accountId: ${{ secrets.CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID }}
          projectName: ...
          directory: ...
          gitHubToken: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

      - name: Publish preview deploy
        uses: cloudflare/pages-action@1
        with:
          apiToken: ${{ secrets.CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN }}
          accountId: ${{ secrets.CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID }}
          projectName: ...
          directory: ...
          gitHubToken: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

I see it seems to be due to this bug on the pages-action, https://github.com/cloudflare/pages-action/issues/97

Based on the documentation, if you omit branch, it should default to the branch for the workflow. I omitted the parameter, but it always reported deployments in the dashboard to master. Passing the...

Manually passing in the branch input causes the preview alias to be created, but the github deployment points to the hash URL instead of the branch name URL
