Description
We have Jobs with timer trigger and SCM timer trigger.
Every trigger has an comment like this:
# every 30 minutes
*/30 * * * *
If we copy jobs with these triggers by URL(<Jenkins-URL>/createItem?name=copyOfJob) and config.xml as post data, then the triggers are not activ. Jenkins handles
# every 30 minutes
*/30 * * * *
as a whole comment.
If the trigger configuration ist like:
*/30 * * * *
# every 30 minutes
then copy by URL ist not possible. Jenkins gives an Exception (see Attachment)

Not a defect, only happens when you use e.g. curl --data @config.xml rather than curl --data-binary @config.xml. Only the latter retains line breaks, which are essential for this format:
* * * * * # foo
is invalid.
# foo * * * * *
is all comment, and the trigger is stripped from the job.
Confirmed (with different but similarly broken behavior) on 1.583; if the timer spec contains a comment, the timer will silently be discarded.
