Problem to solve

Can't specify the scope of variable when running pipeline via UI.

Intended users

  • Sasha (Software Developer)
  • Devon (DevOps Engineer)

Further details

Currently when specifying variables via run pipeline UI it seems applying to the whole pipeline. If defined in .gitlab-ci.yml both pipeline and job level are supported. It's expected to have the same supported in the run pipeline UI as well.

Note GoCD has this.
