Currently, when a developer/sheriff clicks on a Treeherder job and click on the "..." menu item they will see the following items: * Backfill --> Sends pulse message that pulse_actions can do nothing about [1][2][3] * Custom action... (which opens prompt with list of actions) * Backfill --> Triggers backfill action The top menu item "Backfill" should trigger the "backfill action" instead of a Pulse message. kmoir, could you please CC any buildduty members? I've seen them requesting backfills in the past. Thank you. [1] Job for which a backfill was requested: https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=autoland&revision=80648a32ef3659138dd58146f681178b1a85dd58&selectedJob=121567359&filter-searchStr=windows%2010%20talos&group_state=expanded [2] "Sch" jobs that pulse_actions schedules: https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=autoland&revision=80648a32ef3659138dd58146f681178b1a85dd58&selectedJob=121567359&filter-searchStr=sch&group_state=expanded [3] From the 'Sch' logs: > We believe 'Windows 10 64-bit autoland talos other-e10s' is a builder triggered via Buildbot bridge and we won't schedule anything.

The first backfill button does more than just send to pulse_actions. If it is a taskcluster task it should be sending an actions.yml action task to the tc queue directly. We shouldn't need to port to the new actions.json thing to make that work?

My apologies. I forgot about it. Do you still want actions.yml to be scheduled or the new actions.json? Would the backfill TC request work for win8/win10 jobs? (These are BBB driven)

Yep, it should be ported to actions.json as well! I believe BBB things do work with tc scheduling now. In treeherder at the moment, we send bbb jobs to tc directly instead of through pulse_actions.

What was the fix for this? Ionut has not been able to backfill from the Treeherder UI.
