More a question than a bug right now.. is the intention for hidden params to affect the UI? See screenshots below.
Before (no params at all):
After (added single hidden param):
Then:
As you can see, adding a hidden param affects the UI experience for the Input step, requiring an extra click through. Not the end of the world but... is this expected? A limitation of sorts? Is there a workaround available?
Thanks,
Michael
Expected Results
Expected the Input UI to display as if there were no params at all.
Actual Results
Input UI is changed, requiring users to click through before finding the familiar 'Approve/Decline' options.
Are you interested in contributing a fix?
Yes. Relatively new to Jenkins plugins though, would appreciate any pointers.
