@ndintenfass @rose @KyleTryon (or any Circle employee) We’ve searched through many threads now of users trying to use the “Build only on PRs” feature while also having a few extra branches that are only used for deployments. This article from a while ago mentions this limitation (https://medium.freecodecamp.org/our-journey-for-using-circleci-2-0-to-build-and-deploy-an-angular-app-to-aws-s3-8e7ea3f51503), and these are some of the threads we’ve already come across from trying our own hacks around it (Pull Requests and Multiple Default Branches, Option to enable build on several "default" branches, Option to define default branches in config.yml, Continuing the discussion from Option to enable build on several "default" branches:).
Can you or anyone at CircleCI please offer some advice on how we can get around this limitation? Is there any sort of API that we could use to try to manually trigger things or some experimental feature we may not know about? Our organization is large, and running many extra builds from users that haven’t opened PRs just so we can deploy to a few extra branches is not going to work for us. We were just about to migrate completely from Travis until we hit this limitation and have been at a standstill for a while now. Thanks for your help
