Limiting pipelines when using templates



  • Is there a way to prevent selection of a different pipeline when a release is created using a template? The template itself is working fine, and when the template is selected while creating the release the correct pipeline is displayed, but the user is offered the option to change the pipeline, which is undesirable in this context.

    Product: BuildMaster
    Version: 5.3.5



  • We had considered this as an option when designing templates, but decided against it because of the additional complexity required. The main challenge being, a user with Releases_Manage can already change the pipeline (or any other attribute) on an existing release.

    Making a "restrictive" template be a securable feature would require new permission attributes (and thus be more confusing/frustrating to use), and making it a convenience feature would give it the appearance of security (which is also bad).
