Is there a way we can trigger another build manually without pushing another commit into merge request?
I'm using Jenkins and Gitlab integration

The regex-solution did not work in our setup, perhaps old/missing plugin in jenkins... But yesterday I found the best "solution"/hack (at least for me :-) ) by changing the TARGET branch of the merge request. Then I changed it back to the original one and a new pipeline startet without a senseless commit!
There is an option in the "Configure" page of the Jenkins job for that (a recent addition I think).
Look for the textbox named:
Comment (regex) for triggering a build
