| Hi there, since JENKINS-58170 there's a new checkbox - "List user credentials" in the credentials parameter, that's by default unchecked. When checked, the user-scoped secrets can be selected from the drop-down. This changed the previous behavior which had no checkbox and the drop-down contained the user-scoped creds by default. Although I think I understand the reasoning behind why it was added, I don't think all users need to explicitly consent twice that they want to select a user-scoped credential. My whole team uses these parameters as a workaround to JENKINS-44772 several times a day and we all would be thrilled for a fix. As I know there's quite some hesitance to fix it at all, we'll be grateful for at least some old-days compatible UX:
- One approach could be to add a config option for the default state of the user-scoped checkbox in the configuration/pipeline script (along these lines).
- Another option could be to allow selecting user-scoped credentials by default as before, but display the warning when a user-scoped credential gets selected.
Both options are IMHO quite easy to implement and they would give users more control while retaining the new safety measures where desired. |
