Description

🔖 Feature description

When re-running a pipeline from the CI/CD tab, as of it is executed using the existing input sets. However, a developer might want to re-trigger using a set of new inputs. Just like Harness, there should be a way to provide those inputs in the Backstage plugin.

Research direction

Start by locating the CI/CD tab's pipeline re-run action and its integration with the re-run pipeline API. Define how the Backstage plugin will collect and pass new inputs, then verify that a re-run can use those inputs instead of the existing input set.
