Create a new job into a view via REST API

I think, it would be ok, to be able to add an existing job to an existing view. Actually this can be done like follows: wget --post-data='name=ViewX&JobX=on&json={"name": "ViewX", "JobX": true}' http://.../jenkins/view/ViewX/configSubmit But the problem is, that all other options are deleted (other assigned jobs, columns etc.). I suggest to fix this and leave unspecified options unchanged. Additionally the necessity to specify all options twice (see JENKINS-8927) should be removed.

Create a new job into a view via REST API

Found out how to achieve this: Instead of using /jenkins/createItem (as mentioned in the documentation), one can simply post a new job to /jenkins/view/myViewName/createItem (where myViewName is an existing view). Or in detail: wget --post-file=config.xml --header='Content-type: application/xml; charset=ISO-8859-1' http://.../jenkins/view/myViewName/createItem?name=newJobName Maybe this should be mentioned in the small Remote API Documentation reachable at /jenkins/api/ in every Jenkins installation, as it seems to work perfekt without any side effects.
