Re: Readonly job parameters

[Ilamparithi]

Hi,

You probably might have found a solution now. Anyway I had similar 
requirement recently and found this thread. Later I came across a plugin 
https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Jenkins+Dynamic+Parameter+Plug-in. 
Using this plugin you can send a dynamic parameter to the build. It also 
has an option to make that parameter read-only. Have fun!

Hi,

The environment variable BUILD_CAUSE already provides you how the build has
been triggered. You don't need any plugin or parameter to get this
information.

Cheers,

Re: Readonly job parameters

My personal usecase would be to differ between an auto triggered build and 
a manual build. But I believe the envinject can fulfill that need quite 
well.

Re: Readonly job parameters

[Daniel Beck]

An actual use case for this might be helpful. Right now, this looks a lot like 
an XY problem [1].

Also, a possible solution is a Choice parameter with only one value to select. 
But note that e.g. Parameterized Trigger will just override this when you 
specify a different value there, so it's on the UI only.

Although not ideal, you can use this plugin:

Yeah, something like this would be perfect for my needs. 

Surely it's not too difficult to add a new "read only string parameter" to the 
parameter options in the job description then display it but obviously don't 
let the user edit it. Did you enter this in Jira already?

envinject plugin does this. But not visible as 'fake' job parameters.

Re: Readonly job parameters

[Pete]

No, that I am aware of.  I've been kind of thinking about something similar
but more of like a set of variables that can be defined with the job, and
then referenced in multiple places within the job configuration.

Readonly job parameters

[Thomas Fields]

Hi there,

In my job configs I've been ticking the "This build is parameterized" box
and then using the String parameter option. I can then use my new parameter
through most of my job setup and so far this has been working great.

I'm now in a situation where I want my String parameter to be uneditable.
So when the user clicks the Build Now link, I want to display what the
parameter is set to but not let the user change it. Is it possible to do
this?

Cheers,
Tom
