Using extended choice parameter in Jenkins

I would like to create an Extended Choice Parameter option and for the choices to be listed from a text file? Would it be possible and if yes, how can i achieve that?

Take a look at the Active Choices plugin instead. A simple Groovy script can be used to read the text file and return a list of the choices.

Thank you, I never scripted using Groovy and tried this String fileContents = new File("C:/temp/applicationlist.txt").text which did not work...

Active Choices requires that the returned value from the script is a list or a map. Each element then becomes a selectable option.

Assuming that each line of your text file contains an option you want to display, try something along these lines for the Active Choices groovy script:

def choices=[]

textFile= new File("C:/temp/applicationlist.txt")

textFile.eachLine{

choices.add(it)

}

return choices
