Some groups within the CI I use allow failures, and are often known to fail. Therefore the “Retry failed jobs” is a bit too coarse and wastes job work.
It would be nice to have the option to retry failed jobs specifically within a group. Perhaps within the dropdown that appears when you click on a group?
Hey @IanButterworth 
,
This is Suma from Buildkite support team. Thank you for reaching out to us with your request.
If I understand the ask here, you have multiple groups in your pipeline where some of them can have steps with failure and you do not want them to be retried. However failure of steps in specific group need to be retried.
While we do not have a retry steps of a specific group, you can setup manual retry for the steps in the group so that way you would be able to click on the group then click on the relevant job in the group that failed and use the retry option with that job. This way it will allow you to retry the jobs that failed with in a specific group.
Please let us know if this option works for you.
Thanks,
Suma
