      I have a Bitbucket multibranch pipeline set to discover only PR's. The orphaned item strategy is set to discard old items with both options 'Days to keep old items' and 'Max # of old items to keep' being empty. The config.xml for my top level job contains this

       <orphanedItemStrategy class="com.cloudbees.hudson.plugins.folder.computed.DefaultOrphanedItemStrategy" plugin="cloudbees-folder@6.1037.v4cb_8573b_72a_a_"> 
    <pruneDeadBranches>true</pruneDeadBranches> 
    <daysToKeep>-1</daysToKeep> 
    <numToKeep>-1</numToKeep> 
    <abortBuilds>false</abortBuilds> 
  </orphanedItemStrategy>

      With these settings build jobs for closed PR's are never deleted. Jenkins does notice that a PR was closed because the build jobs is stricken through in this case, but not removed. The event log shows 'PREvent REMOVED' is received.

      However the jobs remain in this state forever unless i delete them manually or trigger a manual scan.
      My understanding of the documentation is that with these settings the builds should be automatically removed. Am i missing something?

      Best Regards
