[JENKINS-46257] Improve Run Parameters folders support for auto-completion · jenkinsci/jenkins#22250

2017-08-17T07:33:34.000Z

The RunParameter descriptor accepts a Project name. The autocompletion only works for Items from Jenkins root. The TextField has no context and therefore when jobs are organized in Folders, a full relative path from the Root (or an absolute path) needs to be provided. Even though the job is a sibling: We could improve the auto completion to inject the context @AncestorInPath (similar to other auto completion for Project names like BuildTrigger and Parameterized Build Trigger). https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins/blob/master/core/src/main/java/hudson/model/RunParameterDefinition.java#L154 --- Originally reported by allan_burdajewicz , imported from: Improve Run Parameters folders support for auto-completion assignee : andreineagu status : Open priority : Minor component(s) : core label(s) : newbie-friendly resolution : Unresolved votes : 0 watchers : 4 imported : 2025-11-24 Raw content of original issue The RunParameter descriptor accepts a Project name.
