Drop down for Git Branch for Code base branch selection

complete

Nutty Limpet

While clicking the run pipeline we dont get option to select a branch instead a text box to enter the branch name which is not user friendly. Would be great if we can get a drop down of all branches which we can select from.

Hey, 
Git branches are now populated when the Run Pipeline action is triggered for pipelines with Git clone enabled at the pipeline level. This feature is behind the feature flag CI_DYNAMIC_BRANCH_SELECTOR.  
This functionality was added with version 1.72 .

Cache last used options when performing a manual run

Judicial Mockingbird

Currently whenever I run a manual build, it has to find all the branches in our repo. This is currently around 400 which you can imagine takes a hot second. 
It would be great if it did a "stale-while-revalidate" approach of showing previously selected branch and searches in the background then validates before starting. 
Likewise, if I last submitted for a PR #5000, it would be amazing if that pre-populated again. (perhaps only within the my active session)
