the parent pipeline

cndevops/gitlab-pipeline-examples/parent-project/.gitlab-ci.yml

job_trigger:
  stage: trigger_downstream_pipeline
  inherit:
    variables: false
  trigger:
    strategy: depend
    forward:
      pipeline_variables: true
    include:
      - project: 'cndevops/gitlab-pipeline-examples/child-project'
        ref: 'main'
        file: '.gitlab-ci.yml'

the child pipeline

image:
  name: public.ecr.aws/docker/library/alpine:3

stages:
  - additional_stage

job_additional:
  variables:
    CI_DEBUG_TRACE: "true"
  stage: additional_stage
  rules:
    - if: $CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE == "parent_pipeline"
  script:
    - echo "Running additional tasks"
    - echo "how to pass variable"

the log of child pipeline

# why?, why not git clone child project
cd /builds/cndevops/gitlab-pipeline-examples/parent-project
echo "Running additional tasks"
