How to specify Tekton Pipelines version from tekton-operator TektonConfig CR?

[dohoangkhiem]

I tried to use the tekton-operator to simplify the installation process with the TektonConfig and the profile 'all', but after installation with the latest operator release (https://storage.googleapis.com/tekton-releases/operator/latest/release.yaml), the tekton-pipelines component version is still v0.50.3, which is quite old and missing some features I need.

I see there's the file https://github.com/tektoncd/operator/blob/main/components.yaml in operator's repo, which updates components versions to latest, but it seems the file is not used when installing operator? How could I achieve using operator while still be able to install latest (or specific version) of Tekton Pipelines (and other components)? Currently If I try to install tekton-pipelines separately with newer version, then operator will always revert it back to v0.50.3.
