adding a trigger list for Pull Requests

[Galit Oshri]

Hi,

We would like to explore the possibility of adding a trigger list for Pull Requests, allowing developers to select which builds to run. For instance, when a developer opens a Pull Request, they may need to run a different build instead of the default ones. To give developers this flexibility, we would like to present a checkbox or a list, enabling them to manually select and trigger specific builds. 

Does Bitbucket has an option to add this kind of option?

Thanks,

Galit

One idea maybe...

If you can use the standard automation rules to trigger the builds, then you could implement an automation rule which is:

• triggered by the "pull request created", "pull request updated", etc. events
• tests the pull request title and description fields for string occurence
  • for example, if you have builds A, B and C, then the automation rule checks if the PR desc contains the substrings "Run build A", "Run build B", "Run build C"
• runs the builds depending on whether the strings were found

You could even make it more convenient by using a PR description template where the options are listed.
