We are making some changes to when statements for workflows December 3rd. We will be adding conditional support to when statements so customers can do things like when: pipelines.git.tag == release. This conditional support allows for customers to run workflows based on pipeline parameters and values.
NOTE: When in Steps are not impacted by this change.
If you currently have when: always in your workflows you will need to make a change to your config. Always has never been a special value for workflow when, it is a non-empty string and currently evaluates as true. This is equivalent to removing the when key from your workflows.
Shortly the “always” string will be interpreted as an expression and will fail. To avoid your config failing to be processed you must remove the when from your workflows, which is equivalent to the prior behaviour.
