      Since the change of default working directory from /home/jenkins to home/jenkins/agent (see JENKINS-58705), it is possible to change the working directory back to /home/jenkins but this does not survive a restart.

      This behavior is quite confusing.

      Reproduce

      • Create a pod template and set the working Directory to /home/jenkins
      • Restart Jenkins
      • Check the pod template configuration

      *Expected*

      • The pod template configuration hasn't changed. The working directory is /home/jenkins

      *Actual*

      • The pod template configuration has changed. The working directory is /home/jenkins/agent.

      Source

      The descriptor migrates the value: https://github.com/jenkinsci/kubernetes-plugin/blob/kubernetes-1.21.1/src/main/java/org/csanchez/jenkins/plugins/kubernetes/ContainerTemplate.java#L435-L441

      Workaround

      A reliable way to use /home/jenkins as a working directory use YAML definition to define container templates

          We should at least warn users of such behavior. We may also add a way to control this (for example a system property that allow to disable the migration / enforcement at https://github.com/jenkinsci/kubernetes-plugin/blob/kubernetes-1.21.1/src/main/java/org/csanchez/jenkins/plugins/kubernetes/ContainerTemplate.java#L435-L441)

          Maybe add form validation and/or a runtime warning suggesting users switch to the new value?
