Issue
When the pipeline has a grandchild (ie. child pipeline calling another child pipeline), trigger:forward doesn't seem to work in both the child and the grandchild.

Expected result:
TEST_VAR is test_var
TEST_VAR_UI is test_var_uiActual result:
TEST_VAR is test_var
TEST_VAR_UI is <default>Workarounds
Workaround 1: manually forward
Manually forward the variables in the child pipeline: https://gitlab.com/garyng/trigger-forward-grandchild-mre/-/blob/mre/parent-child-workaround/.gitlab-ci.yml#L16-17
Pipeline run: https://gitlab.com/garyng/trigger-forward-grandchild-mre/-/pipelines/507910038
Weirdly in this case, trigger:forward will work for the grandchild.
Workaround 2: manually run
Manually run the pipeline and insert the correct variable values.
