Restrict custom pipelines to specific branches

Question

Hi, I have a few custom branches in my repository as below.

and here's the bitbucket-pipelines.yml code:

pipelines:   pull-requests:      '**':         - parallel:            - step: *runDeploymentValidation
   custom:      deploy-to-sit:         - step: *deployToSit      deploy-2:         - step: *deploy2      deploy-3:         - step: *deploy3      run-script:         - variables:            - name: SCRIPTNAME            - name: ORGNAME         - step: *runApexScript
How can I restrict those pipelines so that in bitbucket I would be able to run them only from specific branches (e.g. dev, uat, prod)? Right now I can run those pipelines from all branches, even feature or bugfix branch as below.

Hi Mateus,

It's a pity that it can't restrict main branches in a manual run. But thanks You raised a feature request I hope we will able to see this feature in action soon :)

Hi @Kacper Ośko

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

If I understood you correctly, you would like to have only your main branches (e.g. dev, uat, prod) appear on the dropdown when triggering manual builds.

In this case, I'm afraid that this is not quite possible at the moment for manual builds, however, since this is a functionality you would like to see on our platform, I went ahead and raised a feature request with our development team, which you can check through the following link:

* https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BCLOUD-22813

Our development team will give a first-hand update through that ticket if any progress is made, so I suggest keeping a watch for it. Please note that all enhancements are implemented with this policy in mind.

Thanks!

Mat
