          well option 1 can not work because you would have 2 job names on your view with the same name. It might confuse the user if they did not configure it self they would not know what happened.

          option 2 and 3 act the same since if you leave it blank then the display name is the same as the job name.

          I dont see the advantage for implementing here because leaving blank and copying job name will present the same thing to do the user.

          option 1 will not work and confuse the user.

          Do you agree?

          This is deliberate to prevent multiple jobs from accidentally appearing with the same display name (see hudson.model.DisplayNameListener).
