'Gitlab CI: Using "environment" key with trigger in job

I am looking to use the environment keyword as shown below in job which has trigger.


deploy:
 stage: deploy 
 environment:
   name: develop     
 variables:    
   ENV: develop    
 trigger:         
   include:
     - local: '<path to pipeline config>'

However, it is giving error "config contains unknown keys: environment"

It is working fine using "script" instead of trigger. Anyway it works with trigger ?

gitlab gitlab-ci

You can't set environment on bridge jobs. You must set environment.name on the triggered job in the included config.

Solution 2:^[2]

Yes apparently thats not allowed. I also felt this error and was expecting the environment config to be applicable on the child pipeline like below

sit-pipeline:
  trigger:
    include:
      - local: pipeline/sit-pipeline.yaml
  stage: deploy
  when: manual
  needs: ["sit-approval"]
  environment:
    name: sit
    url: http://sanjay-sit.com

But this gives an error This GitLab CI configuration is invalid: sit-pipeline config contains unknown keys: environment.

It would have been a good feature especially when we want to put some approval process and protect the environment.
