Scheduled Repository Polling in Pipelines

daniel copping_1sok2h

Is there any way to configure pipelines with repository polling on a schedule? This feature was available in Bamboo (but missing in Bitbucket cloud).

The only option I can find in Bitbucket Cloud is to set the pipeline to RUN on a schedule. The problem here is that we are using the build number for versioning. The pipeline is using this value to inject into the code and also to tag the repository. We don't want to run a build (which generates a new build number) unless there are changes in the repository.

Repository Polling, as it works in Bamboo, checks for changes in the repo (or any number of repos) and only triggers the build if there are changes. Is a similar function available? Are there any plans to introduce this feature in Bitbucket Cloud?

Thanks

Dan
