Feature branch builds should only execute unit test stage automatically

Question

In my bamboo instance I have configured a build plan that builds the master branch and all Feature-Branches ("feature*") automatically.

To reduce load on the build machines I want to configure the plan, so that within a feature branch build only the first (unit test) stage of the build will be executed automatically. The second (integration test) stage should have to be executed manually by the developer if needed.

How can I do that within one build plan? Or is the only solution to create another build plan?

Yes, you will have to create another build plan I guess. And since it is about integration tests, maybe you don't need one for each feature branch but have one only for the master?

i.e. the plan branches will only execute unit tests. Master branch will also execute only the unit tests. Then you have an integration build plan, which is also pointed to master, that will execute integration tests. Will that work?
