Run gitlab runner pipeline on merge requests when origin branch name has a specific name

Question

We create new branches from develop branch that starts with hotfix/bla_bla or feature/bla_bla. Then, we merge them back into develop branch. On merge requests, I would like to run a job only when we merge feature branches into develop branch. Something like:

job:
stage: test
only:
 refs:
 - develop && "when a branch which starts with 'feature/' is merged into develop"

How could I achieve this in .gitlab-ci.yml file or using a .sh file?

Untested, but you potentially can use a combination of pipelines for merge requests and the CI Variable CI_MERGE_REQUEST_SOURCE_BRANCH_NAME.

For example, something like:

job:
  stage: test
  only:
   refs:
     - merge_requests
     - develop
   variables:
     - $CI_MERGE_REQUEST_SOURCE_BRANCH_NAME == "feature/*"
