Minor When looking at the build history screen, the "export as plain xml" link only exports the most recent build for each job. The build history screen itself shows every build for each job. There is a need for a way to retrieve all builds for each job.
[JENKINS-32274] "Export as plain XML" option should allow exporting of all job history

added a comment - danielbeck As of now, "export as plain xml"(located on the build history screen, the link found on the main page of a jenkins instance) only exports the most recent build for each job. If you look at the data shown on this page, it is for every build ran for each job. So it doesn't make sense that "export as plain xml" only gives data for the most recent build for each job.

This feature should probably be shot altogether. It's the Cruise Control compatibility feature.
And FWIW, the format definition (archive.org because it's that obsolete) does not support the feature you're asking for anyway. So that would actually be a breaking change for the two people in the world still using this.
Consider using the real Jenkins remote API instead.
I found a another issue:
If you use the folder plugin and you organize your jobs in folders, then display the Build History View the correct data. But the Export as XML Displays no data!
It is not clear what this is about. Please provide more details.
