Best way to set the job description for multi branch pipelines

[Lee, David]

Hi Jenkins users –

 

I am not seeing a really easy and clean way to set the Jenkins job description for multi branch pipelines. 

 

The following code works, however, the downside is 3 in-process script approvals are required (method org.jvnet.hudson.plugins.groovypostbuild.GroovyPostbuildRecorder$BadgeManager getBuild,  field hudson.model.Run project, and method hudson.model.AbstractItem setDescription java.lang.String).

 

def project = manager.build.project

project.setDescription("My job description.")

 

Am I missing something?  Is there a better way to codify the job description into a Jenkinsfile and without requiring any script approvals?   Would I need to create a  Jenkins plugin?

 

Any advice appreciated.  Thanks.

Try this:

currentBuild.description = "You description"

Thanks for the reply. 

 

currentBuild.description = "You description"  sets the build description for each build.  I am looking for setting the job/project description.
