How do I change the name of the pipeline run in Azure Pipelines?

Question

Azure Pipelines shows the pipeline run as the last commit message. I want to override that since my pipeline is triggered by a pipeline completion trigger and I want to note what it is that triggered when I am looking at the list of runs.

Is that possible?

I am talking about updating the description and not updating the build number

You can add in your pipeline yaml parameters:

name: MyName
appendCommitMessageToRunName: false

You can't update the description. The only thing you can do is generate a more useful buildnumber.
