Hi everyone,

I am aware that this ticket is valued by many people. However, on review there are too many disparate use cases and problems attached to this issue that are already described elsewhere.

This issue means too many things for too many people and makes it unsatisfiable with a single change. The appropriate action here is to close this ticket and ask watchers to watch and vote for a specific ticket that will solve their problem.

If you are interested in these problems, please watch and vote for the following:

• JENKINS-39203 - The entire pipeline gets marked as unstable rather than the stage or parallel where the unstable status was set.
• JENKINS-45579 - Capability to mark a stage as "failed" with message and have the pipeline continue executing.
• JENKINS-43995 - Infrastructure to allow any step to have its own distinct status. This enables the tickets listed above.
• JENKINS-46170 - Add notes to stages and parallels

I may have missed a few use cases. If that is the case:

• Search JIRA for an issue matching your use case. If you find one, link it in the comments and I will update the ticket. Be sure to leave a comment on the linked ticket describing the problem you are trying to solve and then your desired solution to the problem.
• If you cannot find an existing issue, raise a new one and comment here. Leave a comment on your new ticket describing problem you are trying to solve and then your desired solution to the problem.

Thanks,
James Dumay
