Blue Ocean status
Blue Ocean will not receive further functionality updates. Blue Ocean will continue to provide easy-to-use Pipeline visualization, but it will not be enhanced further. It will only receive selective updates for significant security issues or functional defects.
Alternative options for Pipeline visualization, such as the Pipeline: Stage View and Pipeline Graph View plugins, are available and offer some of the same functionality. While not complete replacements for Blue Ocean, contributions are encouraged from the community for continued development of these plugins.
The Pipeline syntax snippet generator assists users as they define Pipeline steps with their arguments. It is the preferred tool for Jenkins Pipeline creation, as it provides online help for the Pipeline steps available in your Jenkins controller. It uses the plugins installed on your Jenkins controller to generate the Pipeline syntax. Refer to the Pipeline steps reference page for information on all available Pipeline steps.
The simplest approach to address your concern is to define your Pipelines with a text editor rather than using the Blue Ocean Pipeline Editor to create those Pipelines.
A more difficult approach would be to submit a pull request that proposes the change that you have suggested. However, that then requires you to persuade the plugin maintainer that the change you're proposing is a "selective update for a. functional defect".
An even more difficult approach would be to become a maintainer of the blue ocean plugin, help the existing maintainer(s), and propose your change as a maintainer.
