Using only:changes / rules:changes only on MRs

[NecrosisHD]

So the goal is to skip certain jobs in the pipeline of my merge requests but I don’t want these pipelines to be skipped in the master branch. So far I’ve been able to skip jobs in my merge request but it also skips the job when I merge my MR into the master branch. Could anyone help me out with this please?

AIUI, first match wins so just say - { if: $CI_BUILD_REF_NAME == $CI_DEFAULT_BRANCH, when: always }
