I need to make my trigger step soft\_fail, because after trigger step execution I have block step. Is there any way how to make condition or something similar to implement behavior ?

Hi @Valera1

First of all welcome to Buildkite community and thank you for reaching out with your question

Yes, trigger step does not support soft\_fail attribute. Please can you explain bit more about your usecase on what exactly you would like to achieve so we can see if there is a different to achieve it.

So far I understand that after trigger step you have block step in the main pipeline which means main pipeline will be blocked unless you unblock it. You want block step to automatically unblock based on the trigger step status ?
