FWIW, while the UI for re-running jobs used to be better, the result was a LOT worse as it would re-run all the jobs instead of just the failing ones, so I am still MUCH happier with the new flow ;P.

I feel like those are not mutually exclusive. The button could say "Rerun failed jobs" no confirmation with a small ▼ next to it that has the other "rerun all jobs" drop down.

Oh yeah: I am not intending to mean that the new UI is good, only that it is still somehow better than the old flow ;P.

For the majority of my pipelines I rerun from the start. The pipeline itself is idempotent, I don't care about each step and I much rather have a clean run than a fast run.
