feature request: trigger on PR only

[jhecht]

is it possible to limit triggers to pull requests only, rather than on commit? We would like to avoid overloading our CI servers.

One way to do it would be to Ignore the master branch, or only allow to Build From the pull request branches (refs/pull-requests/*) in the Advanced Configuration/Branch Options

Hey, Can you please describe this solution. As I am still facing this issue.. In Advanced Configuration/Branch Options I have selected "Ignore from -- master". My master branch name is "master"
Still Jenkins job triggered after every push in to branch also.

Have you tried the full reference?
Ignore from: refs/heads/master

Personally I am only building from the Pull Requests (refs/pull-requests/*) and it works consistently. However, lately I noticed a change in behavior too, namely that the build is not only triggered when the "Trigger Build" button is pressed but also as soon as the pull request is created.

Hey, Thanks for the replay. I have done Both settings (refs/pull-requests/* & refs/heads/master) but no luck.
Every time while I push any commit to any Branch or Master Jenkins job will triggers immediately.

Hello everyone! Any news on the status of this request? I'm looking to only trigger builds on the opposite situation: Merges and NOT on Pull Requests. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
