To restrict your build task to release/ branches only, add a conditional when block to that specific task in your pipeline.yaml.

Here are the two standard formats depending on how your pipeline engine parses strings:

Option 1: Standard Wildcard (Glob)

    - ref: java-gradle-build
      name: gradle-build
      when:
        branch: "release/*"

Option 2: Regular Expression

If the standard wildcard syntax doesn't filter correctly, switch to a strict regex anchor:

    - ref: java-gradle-build
      name: gradle-build
      when:
        branch: "^release/.*$"

Key Checklist

• Indentation: Ensure when: aligns vertically with ref: and name:, and branch: is indented right below it.
• Scope: Placing this block inside the task array only skips this specific step. To stop the entire pipeline early, you must move the condition up to the stage or trigger level.
