Details

    Description

      See https://github.com/jenkins-infra/jenkins.io/pull/611

      Basically, it was a design decision to not allow any form of thing.method() in Declarative. This was needed to support validation.

      It is possible to circumvent this in several ways and there are bugs that might address this, but it is a hard problem.
