Would you prepare updated https://github.com/jenkinsci/build-history-manager-plugin/blob/master/src/main/resources/pl/damianszczepanik/jenkins/buildhistorymanager/model/Rule/help-matchAtMost.html as pull request that can be merged into the project ?
Describe your use-case which is not covered by existing documentation.
I wanted to keep 5 builds of any kind and it wasn't really clear to me how to do that.
Reference any relevant documentation, other materials or issues/pull requests that can be used for inspiration.
I think de description for "Process this rule at most (times)" is a bit misleading:
My thinking was: so I will run 5 builds and the rule will be disabled. That is not the case though. I think it would be helpful to rephrase it and provide a pseudo code of what happens.
Are you interested in contributing to the documentation?
For "Process this rule at most (times)". Change the help to:
Making it clear that the build history manager process is a loop and rules are applied each time after a build was crucial for my understanding of the plugin.
I think it also helps to show how fields map to variables also in the contextual help of form fields (not only in the main documentation).
