Whilst the dashboard view now "works" with folders is it only able to create a view in a folder and use jobs immediately within that folder.

It is common on large instances to have many levels of folders, to the level that a single SCM project may be in its own folder containing multiple job types (e.g. code_review, commit, reporting, acceptance_tests).

It is desired to be able to create a dashboard view of some of the jobs in subfolders (or in any other folder in the hierarchy).

e.g. give the following hierarchy

/
+-project
| +-main_branch
| | +-code_review
| | +-commit
| | \-reporting
| |
| +-foobar_branch
|   +-code_review
|   +-commit
|   \-reporting
|
+-shared_lib
  +-main_branch
  | +-code_review
  | +-commit
  | \-reporting
  |
  +-foobar_branch
    +-code_review
    +-commit
    \-reporting

It would be desirable to create a dashboard in \project\ that looks at the \shared_lib\main_branch\commit and \project\main_branch\commit
