Workflows

upsert-instance-ci-variable
Create or update an instance-level CI/CD variable by key.
Gets the instance variable by key; on 200 it updates the variable, and on 404 it creates a new variable with the supplied key and value.
3 steps inputs: key, masked, privateToken, protected, value outputs: createdKey, updatedKey
1
getVariable
getApiV4AdminCiVariablesKey
Read the instance variable by key. A 200 means it exists; a 404 means it must be created.
2
updateVariable
putApiV4AdminCiVariablesKey
Update the existing variable's value and protection flags.
3
createVariable
postApiV4AdminCiVariables
Create a new instance-level variable with the supplied key and value.

  title: GitLab Upsert an Instance-Level CI Variable
  summary: Look up an instance CI variable and update it or create it if missing.
  description: >-
    An admin CI configuration flow. The workflow reads an instance-level CI/CD
    variable by key and branches: when the variable exists it updates the value
    and protection flags, and when it is missing it creates a new variable. Every
    step spells out its request inline so the flow can be read and executed
    without opening the underlying OpenAPI description.
