GitLab CI: only trigger only merge request & specific branch

I realised that gitlab CI does not seem to allow multiple refs. It will only take the first.

E.g., for the instructions below, the merge_requests will be ignored, and will trigger whenever the develop branch is updated directly.

face-build:
  stage: build
  image: docker:19.03.8
  services:
    - docker:19.03.8-dind
  script:
    - sh some-scripts.sh
  only:
    refs:
      - /^develop$/
      - merge_requests

If I swap the merge_requests to be before /^develop$/ it will be triggered for all merge requests.

Is there anyway to set both to be valid?

If you are using GitLab 12.3 or later, try rules:if clause instead of only:

face-build:
  stage: build
  image: docker:19.03.8
  services:
    - docker:19.03.8-dind
  script:
    - sh some-scripts.sh
  rules:
    - if: '$CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE == "merge_request_event" && $CI_MERGE_REQUEST_TARGET_BRANCH_NAME =~ /^develop$/'
      when: always

Please check Rules attributes so you can choose the most appropriat value for when (on_success, always, delayed or never).
