  • Introduced in GitLab 13.2.
  • It's deployed behind a feature flag, disabled by default.
  • It's disabled on GitLab.com.
  • To use it in GitLab self-managed instances, ask a GitLab administrator to enable it.

This parameter is used for filtering by attributes, such as environment_scope.

Example usage:

curl --request DELETE --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/1/variables/VARIABLE_1?filter[environment_scope]=production"

Enable or disable

GitLab administrators with access to the GitLab Rails console can enable it for your instance.

To enable it:

Feature.enable(:ci_variables_api_filter_environment_scope)

To disable it:

Feature.disable(:ci_variables_api_filter_environment_scope)
