Release notes
Problem to solve
As a release manager, I want to approve a scheduled pipeline run before the actual pipeline is created, so we can deploy off-hours without requiring multiple people to be online.
Proposal
We need user feedback on the two possible approaches to solve the problem described above.
Proposal 1: approve the next scheduled run
Assuming a daily run, this would require a new approval every day as the approvals would be valid only for the next scheduled run.
Proposal 2: approve all the runs for the pipeline
Assuming that compliance only requires that the process was approved, it would be possible to collect the approvals on the scheduled pipeline definition, allowing all the related pipelines to be approved automatically.
