Retry a block step

Pipelines
1

I have a block step with text field to ask user for information. The thing is, the user might have a typo or a change of mind, and want to change the field and re-trigger the block and following steps that depend on the block. Is there a way to do so?

Currently I tell users to retrigger the whole build but it takes quite some time for the previous steps (that the block step depends on) to finish.

Hi @rryan,

Currently, editing values for block steps are currently not supported. The only workaround I can think of here would require splitting your pipelines:

pipeline-1:

  • to include initial build steps
  • trigger pipeline-2

pipeline-2:

  • start with the block steps
  • proceed with the succeeding steps dependent on block step inputs

You can modify your block steps input values by running a rebuild on pipeline-2.

Hope this helps!

Cheers.
