It would be nice to be able to set the job description too, as some information is too much to include in the name (and sometimes is nice to include links too). For example, the GitHub Pull Request Builder plugin sets the description to have the title and a link to the pull request. I would like to do something similar to normal builds (not triggered by a pull request), to include a link to the branch and the specific commit in the GitHub project.
The Description Setter Plugin is just too limited to do this, this plugin is much more flexible and I have the feeling it should be not a radical change to just set one extra field, this is why I do this feature request instead of suggesting to improve the Description Setter Plugin.
Thanks!
Clearly agree. The disadvantage of the description setter is that it changes the description after the job only. But if you have jobs which take a while you don´t see the description in the current build list. Actually I have in mind that this was different in the beginning, so I think that the description change was visible while the job was running already. But now it´s not (or no longer) the case.
On the other hand the disadvantage of changing the build name is that it is put into a small column next to the project name. So longer names are wrapped into several short lines which makes one job entry quite large.
