Any update?

Hi, just had a look. If you put your mouse over the icon, the title is there.
Indeed, the text seems to be not there anymore (I didn't see since I don't personally use that very feature).

Could you tell us a plugin version where it was working, and one when it didn't work anymore? That'd help investigate.

Even better, file a Pull Request, I promise I'll have look.

HTH

Issue reproduced with current version & Jenkins 1.509.4.
Wondering since when it doesn't work.

Can we have the name appear in the trend column as well. Personally, I like seeing the name vs user icon. For rest, icon looks good.

Just did a git bisect, and indeed the UI was showing the text at some point :

10. first bad commit: [8b0424d0875c70537cdcf9ea5bd7143928a72faf] Fixing JENKINS-22557

OK, so the commit is https://github.com/jenkinsci/buildtriggerbadge-plugin/commit/8b0424d0875c70537cdcf9ea5bd7143928a72faf and has indeed been there for almost a year.

I added the link to the associated JIRA. Actually, the text was somehow moved into the image title instead of added. I've asked my comaintainer to check what we wanted to do at that time to decide what to do next.

Cheers

OK, the intent was indeed actually to only show the icon (like elsewhere). So that makes the current issue no more a bug, but an improvement request.
For me, it's two fold (from a "product" management perspective): either we just close this bug as wontfix because we want to keep the complexity low, or we add a new column variant named for example 'last build trigger - long version' and reintroduce a column with the old behaviour.

If we were on a big product, I'd say the first solution may be better. In our case, I suppose the second case is feasible since the codebase is still pretty small. Though we sure want to reuse as much code as possible if we introduce that second column being a 'long' variant of the current one.

Columns can have configuration. Why not add a checkbox or dropdown menu to configure column behavior (rather than add two different, but similar columns)?

Advantages would be that it requires less space in the column selection list in the view configuration, and you can more easily switch from one form to the other.

Additional note: for that new column, to not have the issue that led to JENKINS-22557 we certainly want to limit the max number of characters shown to some hard value, and for example show the full version in a title (if there's more).

Thanks a lot Daniel, I wasn't aware it was possible. So that's obviously what I'm gonna do.
Thanks again.

Awesome. So, we can look forward to a global and local configuration for the column behavior?

Absolutely. But currently having a hard time to do find the time to do it. So if nobody submits the corresponding pull request (hint! Hint! ), it's likely to take still a few weeks before this can be done.
Cheers

JENKINS-26186 Enable changing display format for Last Build Trigger
Column

Users can now pick how to display build Cause in mentioned column,
since not all users want to see long descriptions.

By default column will display only icon for build cause.

I've prepared a Pull Request for this issue:
