Running 'n' steps in parallel

Pipeline workflows
#1

We have the feature of running steps in parallel (Advanced Workflows with Parallel steps · Codefresh | Docs). In this case, the number of steps we want to run is known in advance.
I have a scenario where the number of steps I want to run in parallel is dynamic, calculated via an API call to be precise, something like:

version: '1.0'
steps:
  GetInfo:
    title: Get list of files
    image: alpine
    commands: 
          - some logic to get the list_of_files; list might have 1 or many files
          - export list_of_files to be usable in subsequent steps
  WritingInParallel:
    type: parallel
    steps:
      writing_file_n:
        title: Step_n
        image: alpine
        commands: 
          - echo "Step_n" > list_of_files[n]

Somehow, I wish to run n (number of file in list_of_files) parallel steps here. Is there a way of doing it using parallel or scale method or any other method?

Hello @manishjainctr

No, currently this is not supported. Pipelines do not support changing the number of steps in the middle of the pipeline.

Please open a feature request with our support team. They might also offer some workarounds for this.

If ‘n’ nubmer of step is possible in parallel, Is there any way to run ‘n’ step sequentially.
