When triggering a run manually, you have the option of triggering it with custom parameters. Use this option to select:
Steps to be run
Node pool for the pipeline and for each step
Input resource versions
The advantage of triggering a run with custom parameters is that you can temporarily add or update values for a specific step.
Customizing a Run
To trigger a run with custom parameters:
From the Applications tab, go to Pipelines | My Pipelines.
In the Pipelines dashboard that appears, click the name of your pipeline.
Click the step for which you want to use custom configuration and then click the custom trigger
button.
In the resulting Trigger Run dialog, configure the following and click Trigger Run to configure the following:
Select Steps and Node Pools
When triggering a run, you have the option of selecting specific steps for the run. When you trigger the run, only the steps selected for the run are executed. In addition, you can select specific node pools for the pipeline and individual steps. This provides you the flexibility of selecting node pools that are suitable for specific steps.

Environment Variables
Environment variables can be used to customize a run that is triggered manually.
You can use one or both of these options to add environment variables:
Predefine in YAML: This option enables you to add a set of predefined values in the pipelines DSL, which is then available for selection in the UI. Environment variables can be added at the pipeline- or step-level. The pipeline-level environment variables will be carried through to all steps executed in the pipeline run, but the step-level environment variables will apply only to that specific step. Use this option when you have jobs that require environment variable values to be changed frequently.
For information about setting these values, see Environment Variables Configuration.
Add custom variables: This field enables you to manually add one or more environment variables for each run. These custom variables can be applied to a single step or to all the steps. Use this only when you want to perform a quick test and do not expect to repeat the run with the same environment variables.
Custom variables can be added using:
Key-Value field: Use this when you want to quickly add a small number of key-value pairs.
Bulk paste: Use this when you want to add a large number of key-value pairs.
Bulk Paste Example
key1=value1 key2=value2 key3=value3 key4=value4 key5=value5 key6=value6 key7=value7 key8=value8 key9=value9
