When running a pipeline from the web UI, `TEST_VAR` does not appear in the list of pre-filled variables when having the `main` branch selected but `TEST_VAR2` does appear. However, when running the pipeline, `TEST_VAR` is properly printed as "Hello". ### What is the expected *correct* behavior? When running a pipeline from the web UI, `TEST_VAR` should appear in the list of pre-filled variables while `TEST-VAR2` should not.
