Best way to set the job description for multi branch pipelines

[Lee, David]

Hi Jenkins users -

I am not seeing a really easy and clean way to set the Jenkins job description for multi branch pipelines.

The following code works, however, the downside is 3 in-process script approvals are required (method org.jvnet.hudson.plugins.groovypostbuild.GroovyPostbuildRecorder$BadgeManager getBuild, field hudson.model.Run project, and method hudson.model.AbstractItem setDescription java.lang.String).

def project = manager.build.project
project.setDescription("My job description.")

Am I missing something? Is there a better way to codify the job description into a Jenkinsfile and without requiring any script approvals? Would I need to create a Jenkins plugin?

Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

Try this:

currentBuild.description = "You description"

Thanks for the reply.

currentBuild.description = "You description" sets the build description for each build. I am looking for setting the job/project description.
