Hi guys, I need your support, I’m using downstream plugin to trigger build from other repo, (both are implemented with Drone CI), I’m trying filtering the step I want to call by repo (the name of repo B which triggers Repo A) but this is not working ---

> I’m trying filtering the step I want to call by repo (the name of repo B which triggers Repo A) but this is not working this is not how the repo condition works. the main use case for the repository condition is when you fork a repository and you have Drone enabled for the repository and its fork. You may (for example) want to skip certain steps if the repository is a fork. For this, you would use the repo condition. ```plaintext kind: pipeline type: docker name: default steps: - name: build image: golang commands: - go build when: repo: - ashwilliams1/drone # only run this step for my fork - name: deploy image: plugins/docker settings: ... when: repo: - drone/drone # only run this step for the main repo ``` ---

Yes, I did this for this purpose but not working. Thanks a lot for your support. ---

here is a sample yaml to demonstrate: > and here is the resulting build: [https://cloud.drone.io/drone/hello-world/214/1/2](https://cloud.drone.io/drone/hello-world/214/1/2) The above yaml and resulting pipeline demonstrate how the feature works as expected. The first step (test1) does not execute because the repository for which the pipeline is executing does not match the when condition. The second step (test2) executes because the repository for which the pipeline is executing _does_ match the repository in the when condition. ---

Can I trigger specific pipeline from downstream, If I have two pipelines, so that one pipeline has only the stage I want to execute from the other repo? ---

@bradrydzewski how to use the params in repo, to add condition in the other repo: for example I use this params: - BE=true and I want to add condition in the other repo, If BE=false skip this step ---

I use if $BE=false exit 78 but this exists all the remaining steps, if there other code to exit only one step? ---

you can use `exit 0` to exit the step without failing and without skipping remaining steps.
