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.
