Custom Build Number | Not showing up on Blue Ocean

      *I am raising a JIRA ticket for the first time, please correct me if I am doing something incorrect*

      I am using the pipeline plugin in a Jenkins job and as part of the plugin I am setting the displayname and description properties as follows -

      currentBuild.displayName = "#${BUILD_NUMBER}-${userInput}"
      currentBuild.description = userInput

      In the default dashboard of Jenkins, I see this populated correctly -

       

      However, on the blue-ocean dashboard, it does not show up.

      Where am I going wrong? Or is this a bug which needs to be fixed?

       

      Please note that this has nothing to do with the 'build-name-setter-plugin'

          I just started using the build description field as an easy to read summary of the build. The fact that it gets updated on the view as soon as it is changed in code is very important to us as the pipeline has manual steps and the decision to action those might depend on this information. Until Blue Ocean has the ability to show this as well we cannot use it.

          This is very much needed feature.
          Also descriptions are missing... these are cannonical jenkins elements and a lot of people use them.

          Perhaps changes could show build description if not changes are recorded.
