Seed job branch as variable

[jkornata]

I've successfully transitioned my Jenkins instance to My Bloody Jenkins version 2.235.5-215

The only exception is that one of the seed jobs has variable as a source branch. Unfortunately it doesn't work and with each Jenkins boot it sets the value to master (I assume it's default value).

managedConfig:
  seed_jobs:
    MyJobName:
      source:
        remote: link
        credentialsId: key
        branch: '${BRANCH_NAME}'

After each start I manually set it to desired value but each restart resets it.

Variable is defined in my pipeline file:

pipeline {
    agent {
        label 'master'
    }
    parameters {
        string(name: 'BRANCH_NAME', defaultValue: '')

Is there any way to avoid setting this value to master?

Hi, Escape it with backslash

Like this:

managedConfig:
  seed_jobs:
    MyJobName:
      source:
        remote: link
        credentialsId: key
        branch: '\${BRANCH_NAME}'

Thank you. I'm sorry, must have missed this information in the docs.
