Hello,

I have a pipeline like below. And skip stage(when Closure) works fine. 

pipeline {
    agent any
    stages {
        stage('Build') {
                 when { expression { false } }
            parallel {
                stage('Backend') {
                    steps {
                        buildbackend
                    }
                }
                stage('Frontend') {
                    steps {
                        buildfrontend
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

However, when I move the when Closure to one of the 2 nested stages. It doesn't work. I really appreciate if there is any help in this regard.

pipeline { agent any stages { stage('Build') { parallel { stage('Backend') { when { expression { false } } steps { buildbackend } } stage('Frontend') { when { expression { false } } steps { buildfrontend } } } } } }

My log indicates that the stages are skipped.

[Pipeline] stage
[Pipeline] { (Build)
[Pipeline] parallel
[Pipeline] [Backend] { (Branch: Backend)
[Pipeline] [Frontend] { (Branch: Frontend)
[Pipeline] [Backend] stage
[Pipeline] [Backend] { (Backend)
[Pipeline] [Frontend] stage
[Pipeline] [Frontend] { (Frontend)
Stage 'Backend' skipped due to when conditional
Stage 'Frontend' skipped due to when conditional
[Pipeline] [Backend] }
[Pipeline] [Frontend] }
[Pipeline] [Backend] // stage
[Pipeline] [Frontend] // stage
[Pipeline] [Backend] }
[Pipeline] [Frontend] }
[Pipeline] // parallel
[Pipeline] }
[Pipeline] // stage

But BlueOcean doesn't display it.
