Description
It would be nice to be able to copy artifacts from another job's workspace instead of archived artifacts only.
This could be achieved by adding a selection "workspace" to the combo box "which build".
Why? Imagine this situation:
- Job A builds a Java project
- Job B builds large data (some GB)
- Job C copies artifacts from A and B and creates the completed build
Now, archiving some GB of artifacts in B takes a lot of time. Maybe you only need the workspace, for Job C anyway copies B's results and archives the artifacts of the whole build again.
So, if C could copy B's workspace, we could save the time for archiving artifacts in B.
An alternative would be the plugin "Clone workspace SCM", but this prevents the use of a real SCM in the same job and is less convenient in some cases.

Great, thanks for the quick resolution!

added a comment - Great, thanks for the quick resolution! Dear L&G,
Can we also have the option that copies from (workspace
of a "specified build number" instead of "the latest completed build")?
It will be very useful as we need it in some projects which we do some changes in some build jobs and want to have them instead of those of the latest successful builds.
Thanks,
Abdallah

Abdallah Hi Abdallah,
please leave old jobs that are long done closed.
If you have a new requirements, please open a new job.
In your case: what you want is already there, copyartifact-plugin can copy artifacts from a specific build number.
But the workspace of a specific build number does not exist. The workspace is something per job, not per build.
