Re: Issue with using REST API to schedule multiple jobs

Try adding an extra parameter that's always different. Some people use a time counter. I've used a hash of the time, user, and other parameters. That should guarantee that each job has a unique parameter set and overcome the problem. I think you can also use the Random String Parameter Plugin[1]

You don't want to do this. It's an extremely good practice to make sure that all build numbers are unique. But if you want to do this anyway... I think there's a plugin which let's you explicitly set the build number. I use it to jump the build number up when I make major backward incompatible
