### Set Customize name for Downstream Pipeline
***I am triggering child pipeline from parent successfully, What I want is, to customize downstream name to something rather than project name.
I have something like this in parent pipeline
Parent Pipeline (.gitlab-ci.yml)
group:
stage: group-stage
trigger:
include:
- local: ***-gitlab/frontend-registration/group/group-ci.yml
strategy: depend
only:
changes:
- -gitlab/frontend-registration/group//
I have marked child pipeline which I want to display some other name(eg: project-child1) rather than ***-tf-gitlab .#11
I couldn’t find any document for configuring in yml file
Thanks in advance

did you ever find an answer to this?
+1, it’s very hard to understand what child is running, being able to specify a name would be helpful
Same for me, I use it with a mono repo and it’s almost impossible to find which jobs are corresponding …
I have also post my problem here : https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/197140
this would be very nice to have
You can set a custom name for the downstream pipeline when using its own local file.
When you have:
trigger:
include: ‘child-pipeline.yml’
In the child-pipeline.yml file just add the following:
workflow:
name: “Child Name”
And the pipeline name will match whatever the name is set to here.
