submitterParameter does not work without at least one actual parameter

I've updated the changes for this issue. Please review it.

PR 13 may be fixing this.

Sorry just commented on incorrect ticket. Confirmed this behavior is what I see as well in 2.5 of input step plugin.

It seems necessary to include at least one custom parameter. For example this will work:

def inputResponse = input(message: 'Should we proceed', submitter: "myorg*myteam", submitterParameter: 'approver', parameters:[booleanParam(defaultValue: false, description: '', name: 'promote')] )

But the more sensible simplification returns null:

def inputResponse = input(message: 'Should we proceed', submitter: "myorg*myteam", submitterParameter: 'approver' )

Facing the same issue - Jenkins version - 2.44 , Pipeline Input Step 2.5 .

To add more information, I am seeing this same issue. I am only able to access submitterParameter if I also include parameters. Using the workflow defined in the test test_submitter_parameter_no_submitter() I see the following behavior:

Pipeline:

def x = input message:'Do you want chocolate?', id:'Icecream', ok: 'Purchase icecream', submitterParameter: 'approval'
echo("after: ${x}")
def y = input message:'Do you want chocolate?', id:'Icecream', ok: 'Purchase icecream', submitterParameter: 'approval', parameters: [string(defaultValue: 'herp', description: '', name: 'derp')]
echo("after: " + y['approval'])

Output:

Started by user Scott Lillibridge
[Pipeline] input
Do you want chocolate?
Purchase icecream or Abort
Approved by Scott Lillibridge
[Pipeline] echo
after: null
[Pipeline] input
Input requested
Approved by Scott Lillibridge
[Pipeline] echo
after: scott.lillibridge
[Pipeline] End of Pipeline
Finished: SUCCESS

Is there a different way to access the submitterParameter without including parameters?
