Folders plugin is a great way to organize per project jobs.
But in case of a feature branch builds its healt metrics is useless, currently it shows the worst child metric, which in case of feature builds will very often be bad, and doesn't bring any information to the user.
I propose to have another metric: copy the health from a single job inside the folder.
This way i could make the folder health metric be based on master branch build, and ignore the feature branches.

It would also be great if this could be represented as a properties element, too
Taking a quick look, it doesn't seem like this would be too difficult to do from a contributor standpoint, but I have no knowledge around all the semantics of writing an extension for Jenkins (serialization, handling input, concurrency issues). Looking through the source code is semi-helpful, but I am still not 100% sure how I would actually write the code for this.
Any tips or links to figuring out the right way to contribute this?
