The option "Use custom workspace" is very useful (especially if several projects need to access the same compiled code etc.).
However, it is not available in all job types.
I propose to make this a default-option for all job types available.
Some solutions for similar issues addressing individual job types (e.g. Ivy, Ivy/Maven, Matrix) already exist, however for other job types they do not. And the location of this option on the job-configuration page is different.
I tested the availability of the "Use custom workspace" option for the following job types:
- Freestyle
- Available at: "Advanced Project Options"-->"Advanced"
- MultiJob
- NOT available!
- Maven2/3
- Available at: "Build"-->"Advanced"
- Ivy
- Available at: "Ivy Module Configuration"-->"Advanced"
- Matrix
- Available at: "Advanced Project Options"-->"Advanced"
- Montor External
- NOT available! (But maybe this makes sense!?)

So I think essentially this boils down to
JENKINS-6747, which just got fixed. Marking it as closed.
