Ability to set build description to failure cause

      I would like to be able to use the BFA failure description as my job's description so that I can easily classify failures when looking at the build history. Something like the attachment.

      I've tried to find ways to do this through pipeline groovy but haven't found an easy way to do it.

          I second this.
          I'd be happy with a manual step to add a failure cause to the build description though.

          i.e. a link to "Add to build description" in the list of failure causes.

          My concern with entirely automating is that where it is automatically filled there may be additional failures which are not yet detected and therefore are missed.
