Unable to Remove Template from Pipeline and Unable to Delete Pipeline

[Joshua Davis]

I'm pretty sure I posted this but I don't see it showing up now 30 minutes later.  Sorry if it gets duplicated.

I created a pipeline template for a lot of our common build pipelines (we have a lot of them).  So I have about 8 different pipelines hooked up to the same template.  Now I want to remove the template and create some custom stages (potentially creating a new template) but it seems "Once you go templates, you can never go back."  I can't disable the template.  Is this by design? (attached 'Disable_Template_Error').

So I decided I would just delete the offending pipeline and start over, but when I navigate to the admin tab for the pipelines, some of them I can delete and some of them I can't.  I'm an admin so I should have full control, right?  Also, most of the pipelines are ones that I created.  What gives?  (attached 'Pipeline_Delete_Error').

I was able to unblock myself by manually modifying the config xml to remove the template and adding a dummy stage that I can later modify, but this is *super* painful.  Am I missing something obvious?

I am on Go Version: 14.2.0(377-d8a2866d6af85e)

​There is a missing feature here - "Inline template". So if a pipeline is using a template but you want to now edit it but not the template - you must be able to inline it i.e. to make it a normal pipeline with stages etc. & no template.​ Should be easy enough for a developer to pick this up. Mind putting in a PR?

​You are unable to delete the pipeline because there is some downstream pipeline depending on this pipeline. So if any pipeline depends on a pipeline you cannot delete the upstream pipeline without deleting the dependency.​ "Thats a feature not a bug"!

​Currently Config XML editing is the only way to remove template.

I am in the same boat. Any idea when template inline feature will be implemented? Do you want me to submit a request?

[srinivas upadhya]

I implemented this functionality in this PR. Hopefully it will go in next release.
