[JIRA] [template-project-plugin] (JENKINS-23204) Template Plugin to be able to import job parameters

Tom Ghyselinck commented on JENKINS-23204 Template Plugin to be able to import job parameters Hi Brantone, Thank you very much for looking into this! We need this functionality more and more. I would use this as follows: We have a Template Job name "Template_Job" This Job defines parameter "PARAMETER1", "PARAMETER2" and "PARAMETER3" We have several Jobs, name MyJob1, MyJob2, MyJob3, ... All of these Jobs use "Template_Job" These Jobs import one or more of the parameters from the template job. I suggest the most flexible way to use the parameters from the "Template_Job" (in e.g. "MyJob1") is: Select "This build is parameterised" "Add Parameter" -> "Use parameter from another Job" (this would be the new part) "Select" parameter name When performing a manual build, I suggest it should be possible to obtain all required parameter info from the "Template_Job" configuration. (We should see the same parameter info as when the parameters would be configured in "MyJob1" directly) Note: One difficult part may be recursion: Suppose we have: Template Job "Template_Job1" and "Template_Job2" These are simple template jobs "Template_Job1" defines parameter "PARAMETER1_1", "PARAMETER1_2" and "PARAMETER1_3" "Template_Job2" defines parameter "PARAMETER2_1", "PARAMETER2_2" and "PARAMETER2_3" Template Job "Template_JobX" This Job uses parameters, build steps, post build steps, etc. from "Template_Job1" and "Template_Job2" E.g. Using parameters "PARAMETER1_1" and "PARAMETER1_2" from "Template_Job1" E.g. Using parameters "PARAMETER2_2" and "PARAMETER2_3" from "Template_Job2" Actual main Job "MyJob1" Using parameters from "Template_JobX" E.g. Using parameters "PARAMETER1_1" and "PARAMETER1_2" from "Template_JobX" (which actually came from "Template_Job1") E.g. Using parameters "PARAMETER2_2" from "Template_JobX" (which actually came from from "Template_Job2") E.g. Additionally using parameter "PARAMETER1_3" from "Template_Job1" If this is too complex too implement, it can be simplified: Template Job configuration same as shown above. Actual main Job "MyJob1" E.g. (Directly) using parameters "PARAMETER1_1", "PARAMETER1_2" and "PARAMETER1_3" from "Template_Job1" E.g. (Directly) using parameters "PARAMETER2_2" and "PARAMETER2_3" from "Template_Job2" I hope this helps you figuring out the design. with best regards, Tom.
