How to remove a build step

[ru...@zollsoft.de]

Can we delete a build step ?

This is a piece of our job template, which has one build step too much.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><project>
  ...
    <builders>
        <hudson.plugins.copyartifact.CopyArtifact plugin="copyar...@1.38.1">
            <project> ...
            ...
            <doNotFingerprintArtifacts>false</doNotFingerprintArtifacts>
        </hudson.plugins.copyartifact.CopyArtifact>
       ....

The copyartifact step:

    <hudson.plugins.copyartifact.CopyArtifact ...

should be removed by the seed job.

It this possible ?
Thank you,
Ruben

You can use a configure block (https://github.com/jenkinsci/job-dsl-plugin/wiki/The-Configure-Block) to remove XML elements from the generated config.

Thank you Daniel,
That works well. In my example, it looks like:

  configure { project ->
    ...
    Node n = project / builders / 'hudson.plugins.copyartifact.CopyArtifact'
    (project / builders).remove(n)
  }  

(Remark: This works because there is exactly one 'hudson.plugins.copyartifact.CopyArtifact' node. As soon as we introduce another one, a probably need to distinguish them by their attributes.)
