Manual pipeline and prefilled variables

zephyrin13 · July 22, 2022, 8:22am

Hi,

I describe a manual pipeline which requires a lof of variables.
Currently, when I click on the “run pipeline” buttonof the pipelines screen, I have to fill all variables without any help (I do know the name and syntax of each of them).
Is it possible to automatically display the name of each variables with a default value ?

like my screenshot…

thx
Michel

Hi @zephyrin13

I don’t believe this is possible, sorry!

I’ve found it !

for each variable

VAR:
value: “xxxx”
description: "yyyyy

Does that go in the .gitlab-ci.yml?
