Compliance framework pipelines can not include project prefill variables when manually starting a pipeline.
When we add a individual project's configuration in Governance.gitlab-ci.yml as
include: # Execute individual project's configuration (if project contains .gitlab-ci.yml)
project: '$CI_PROJECT_PATH'
file: '$CI_CONFIG_PATH'
ref: '$CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME' # Must be defined or MR pipelines always use the use default branch
and try to run a individual project independently the pipeline is not able include the individual project prefilled variables when starting a pipeline manually. This can be fixed by replacing the ref to $CI_COMMIT_SHA
. This has been documented
