Hi there; hopefully this is an easy one to answer. 
I’m new to gitlab. I’m looking at it for some ci/cd automation tasks, and so far, on the on-prem installation that I have (11.3.4), pipelines and runner all seem to work, but there is one feature that doesn’t work and that is trigger variables (documentation reference: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/triggers/README.html#making-use-of-trigger-variables). When sending vars in the trigger request, they are ignored by the server and do not show up in the runner environment.
I also validated this testcase on gitlab.com ( GitLab Enterprise Edition [11.4.0-rc3-ee]) with a test account and this feature does work. Trigger variables will be presented to the ci build and to the script environment on the runner.
This leads me to believe that this is an EE-only feature – is it? Or could there be something else wrong?
