Up until today we are able to trigger a branch on a non PR branch. Our typical scenario is we take main cut a release branch then use the triggers to manually trigger a release build. But now CI doesn’t even have the branch name in the popup to even trigger the build. Stupid change on their end broke our ability to cut a release build
Thanks for raising this — I’m sorry this change disrupted your workflow.
This behavior is due to a recent update where webhooks marked with “CI Skip” or “Only Build PRs” no longer create pipelines: Changelog link.
As a workaround, you can trigger a build manually using the Run Pipeline API. This allows you to start a pipeline even if the branch hasn’t previously had any runs.
Alternatively, you could create a temporary PR to trigger the build, and use [ci skip] on subsequent commits until you’re ready for a full build.
I hope that helps!
