A Jenkins plugin providing two utility features:

• Job Build Name Parameter: Select build names from other Jenkins jobs as parameters
• Git Branch Environment Variables: Automatically add environment variables for Git branch parameters

1. Jenkins → Manage Jenkins → Plugin Manager
2. Search for "Opsbox Utility Plugin" and install
3. Restart Jenkins

Add parameter to job configuration:

pipeline {
    agent any
    parameters {
        jobBuildNameParam(
            name: 'BUILD_NAME',
            jobName: 'upstream-job',
            countLimit: 5,
            description: 'Select build name from upstream job'
        )
    }
    stages {
        stage('Deploy') {
            steps {
                echo "Deploying build: ${params.BUILD_NAME}"
            }
        }
    }
}

Configuration Options:

• name: Parameter name
• jobName: Source job name (supports folder paths like folder/job)
• countLimit: Maximum number of builds to show (default: 5)
• description: Parameter description

Works with List Git Branches Parameter plugin:

pipeline {
    agent any
    parameters {
        listGitBranches(
            name: 'BRANCH',
            remoteURL: 'https://github.com/user/repo.git',
            credentialsId: 'git-credentials'
        )
    }
    stages {
        stage('Build') {
            steps {
                echo "Branch: ${params.BRANCH}"
                echo "Repository: ${env.PARAMS__BRANCH__REMOTE_URL}"
                echo "Credentials: ${env.PARAMS__BRANCH__CREDENTIALS_ID}"
            }
        }
    }
}

Auto-generated Environment Variables:

• PARAMS__{PARAM_NAME}__REMOTE_URL: Git repository URL
• PARAMS__{PARAM_NAME}__CREDENTIALS_ID: Git credentials ID
• {PARAM_NAME}: Clean branch name
