Problem to solve

The overview of pipelines at /[user]/[project]/pipelines doesn't contain the option to display the parent commit of the commit which is checked in the pipeline.

Further details

Assuming the project has a main development branch master and a feature branch feature has been passed to the pipeline. The feature includes tests which reveal test failures on master which are fixed by someone else. Therefore the user rebases feature on master repeatedly which creates a pipeline for each rebase. The changes on master cause different test failures on feature. The user wants to report back to responsible for fixing the issue on master. During the conversation the user and the other dev can only talk about master commits which are very hard to find without this feature.

Proposal

The column should be optional because it's rarely used. It'd be useful to develop a control to configure displayed columns.

What does success look like, and how can we measure that?

Collaboration in the above usecase should be stress-free.
