Show the triggering source for pipeline in UI

Why was this closed without being in a milestone?

Since this issue was written we've implemented a pipeline filter by source. Now you can filter for ONLY the pipelines triggered by Source as well as Author which is a faster and more efficient way to find the pipelines in question.

Problem

As a DevOps engineer, I want to see pipelines triggered by a specific source, so I can find things my users claimed they did/are having issues with

More Details

We have several ways to run pipeline including:

  • Pipeline triggered by commit
  • Pipeline triggered by UI button of "Run Pipeline"
  • Pipeline triggered by "trigger"
  • Others
  • Pipeline triggered by schedule - Shown today

It would be good if we can show in the pipeline UI how the pipeline is triggered.

Proposal

Boring solution: A label is shown today for Scheduled pipelines, extend this to the top X or all trigger types. The space is already accounted for by the existing label (mostly, we may need to trim some source labels) and the backend work might be done.

The customer https://gitlab.my.salesforce.com/0016100001DOv4V would be like to have it.
