Configuring a global variable via
Manage Jenkins->Configure System->[Global properties]Name=TEST, Value=test

and trying to use it inside a pipeline script like that:

echo( "[ ${env.TEST} ]")
stage("test") {
echo( "[ ${env.TEST}} ]")
    node("master") {
echo( "[ ${env.TEST}} ]")
...

Will output:

[Pipeline] echo
[ null ]
[Pipeline] stage
[Pipeline] { (test)
[Pipeline] echo
[ null ]
[Pipeline] node
Running on master in /var/lib/jenkins/workspace/test
[Pipeline] {
[Pipeline] echo
[ test ]

The expectation would be that its either available in the global context too or error out to fail visually.

Since one may want to use Global properties to build parameters for sub-build jobs having to wrap them in a node(){} will waste worker resources, right? Thus I would like to get global properties to become available outside of nodes too.
