I have several jobs that are set to be triggered only for scheduled tasks. Some job requires to run every hour and other is set to run every day.
How do I set the job to run on schedule and also on specific schedule tasks/definitions? I know GitLab CI has an option to set rules for jobs to run on schedule but I could find an option to set a specific schedule given that I have many scheduled tasks.
For example:
job:
script: echo "Hello, Rules!"
rules:
- if: $CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE == "merge_request_event"
when: manual
allow_failure: true
- if: $CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE == "schedule"
The rule - if: $CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE == "schedule" is very generic. I don't want some job to run every hour. I want it to pick the schedule that is set to run every day only for example

You can add a new schedule with a variable and change gitlab-ci.yml . For example:
job:
script: echo "Hello, Rules!"
rules:
- if: $CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE == "merge_request_event"
when: manual
allow_failure: true
- if: $CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE == "schedule" && $SCHEDULE_TIMING == "hourly"
and add new schedule with variable
