      A Pipeline job attempting to use the Perforce/Jenkins variables throws an exception when executed. Note in Freestyle and Matrix jobs this syntax works as expected.

      Code Sample
      #!groovy

pipeline {

    agent { 
        node
        { 
            label 'VS2022' 
        }
    }
    stages {
        stage ('Perforce Fetch') {
            steps {
		p4sync charset: 'none', credential: 'x1234567-1xxx-1234-xx12-1a23bc45d678', populate: autoClean(delete: true, modtime: true, parallel: [enable: true, minbytes: '4096', minfiles: '4', threads: '4'], pin: '', quiet: true, replace: true, tidy: false), source: depotSource(''' //depot/GroupID/ProductID/branches/7_60/project/... //jenkins-${NODE_NAME}-${JOB_NAME}-${EXECUTOR_NUMBER}/ProductID/trunk/project/...''')
            }
        }             
    }
}
