      As a developer I would like to have a separate "build description" column that does reflect current/running build's description (which can be updated during a builds run), not only the last build's information (which is updated after a build).

      In my build I am using groovy to set description at the start of a job (I am filling it with e.g. git changes and build graph), so a developer could click instantly on fields to go to specific logs - and I am adding new description fields when new build steps pass (e.g. build warnings log).

      It would be good to have build description column to reflect current state of job's description, it would be nice for developers so they can click on the field when on view, without the need to go to job's page.

          I'd love to have something like this as well. We have a workspace file that gets updated throughout the build process, with a short description of the test that is running (and is of course extensible to whatever we want). We show this in the delivery pipeline using the following: ${FILE,path="JobStatusFile.txt"}

          While the default column set could be modernized, I don't think this is something we should add to core. A plugin like https://plugins.jenkins.io/extra-columns/ is the best place for this.

          This issue already had Component/s = extra-columns-plugin. Is this considered Won't Fix for that plugin?

          The job list view shall be refactored in modern UI. Therefore I think it will be not fixed like you describe here. I Use the plugin and it works pretty good. There are many other helpfull options. Try to install it and you will see. When you are not happy with them, please reopen the issue again.
