Description
On a restarted stage, there is a when condition, isRestartedRun() that can be used to run or not a stage. But there isn't anything that can be used to execute a bit different on a restart than in the original run. This leads to workarounds like:
stages {
stage('Schedule') {
when
}
agent any
steps
}
stage('Restart') {
when
agent any
steps
}
It would be much simpler and clearer to be able to just check for currentBuild.isRestartedRun wherever global variables are accessible

added a comment - Fair enough. Any viable way that achieves the same result is welcome.

added a comment - Maybe this deserves a separate JIRA, but it is certainly related:
In a longer pipeline it is possible that one needs to check if a step has been restarted more than one time.
Lets say steps 3 and 7 must behave different when they are restarted.
If we restart the step 3 the isRestartedRun() will be true and trick step 7 in believing it has been restarted (when it was not, 3 was the one restarted).
We need a way to reset this, perhaps after the first step after the restart is completed.

added a comment - isRestartedStage variable is needed as well (to match the when condition isRestartedStage() )

Due to the fun of plugin dependency trees, I can't actually add this to currentBuild, but I could definitely expose this either via a step (though I wouldn't want to call it isRestartedRun() to avoid confusion) or maybe a variable that gets added to the environment automatically. Lemme think on this.
