Problem to solve

I'm using multi-project gitlab-ci pipelines.

A downstream project's pipeline is triggered by some other projects. It takes upper stream project full path as an argument/variable for its job's script.

Currently, pass variables to downstream pipeline seems the best approach.

It means I need configure all upper stream projects' ci yaml with something like UPPER_STREAM: $CI_PROJECT_PATH, and templates may help.

Proposal

Add some predefined variables for multi-project pipelines, such as: $CI_PARENT_PROJECT_PATH, $CI_PARENT_PROJECT_ID, so developer won't pay extra effort on each upper stream project ci yaml.
