Hello @Linh_Nguyen  ,

Do you mean that the pipeline in the parent repo keeps triggering the pipeline on the second repo multiple times even after the pipeline on the second repo has failed?

Could you share with us the pipeline YML of both the parent and second repo?

Thank you, @Linh_Nguyen

Hello @Erkan Sahin ,

It's not possible to launch only one step of a pipeline. The atlassian/trigger-pipeline pipe will trigger a pipeline and all the steps defined under that pipeline.

What you can do is create a pipeline with only one step, and then trigger that pipeline using the instructions above.

pipelines:
  branches:
    hotfix/*: # this is a branch pipeline and contains multiple steps
      - step:
          name: Build hotfix
          script:
            - echo "Hello, hotfix!"
      - step:
          name: Test hotfix
          script:
            - echo "Testing hotfix"

default: # this is the default pipeline and it contains just 1 step
    - step:
        name: All other builds
        script:
          - echo "Hello, World!"
