Add Cancel button to job Configure Screen
The job configure screen needs a Cancel button. It currently only has Save and Apply.
This issue has been observed for the job configuration screens of the following:
- freestyle
- multi-configuration
- multi-job
- folder
It probably exists for others too.
This is needed so that a user can view a jobs configuration without actually changing the configuration.
I have observed that I can make zero(0) changes to a job and when I select Save to exit the configuration window, the corresponding config.xml is updated. The updates are often changing a plugin version, or sometimes removing empty XML statements and other times adding empty xml statements.
Another reason to add cancel is in the event that a user makes a modification that they don't want saved. The want to cancel the configuration session.
Moreover theĀ Cancel button would only apply to unsaved changes. For example if the did the following:
- Modify config
- Select Apply
- Modify config
- Select Cancel
Then that would only back-out/revert/cancel the changes made for step 3 since it hadn't be applied yet.
I guess this might also be considered an Exit button.
