Skip Artifact Download

We'd like the ability to skip the artifact download if it's not needed. Ultimately, we'd like to create maintenance pipelines to start/stop/etc TAS Deployments. An artifact download in this case isn't necessary so we'd like to be able to skip it. I understand we can use a Custom step or a different step if the artifact from the Service is not necessary however, the Services themselves in our case have all the information needed to perform the maintenance. Would it be possible to add a Skip Artifact Download checkbox or option here?

Hi Tawny Aardvark the skip artifact download can only be skipped if you do not define an artifact in the service. So the desired behavior you are looking for:
you are saying we deploy the service once. Then I want to run the same pipeline however the pipeline doesn't re-download the artifact on to the delegate and re-deploy, it skips that and goes to the maintenance job you are trying to perform?

Rohan Gupta for our scenario, we've separate pipepline for deploy and maintanence... we've rolling deploy, b/g deploy, basic deploy... they deploy the service to the platform.
then we've management pipeline that only manage the service (stop, start, delete, restart, etc), these pipeline doesn't deploy the service so we dont need artifact... at the moment when user used these maintenance pipeline, they've to provide an arbitrary version, which is unnecessary overhead, b/c the version is already on the platform and the version they provide doesnt have any other uses other then to fulfil the requirement of the artifact requirement.
