[FIXED] In Jenkins can I use a parameter value in other config fields?

Issue

I am setting up a parameterized build on my Jenkins server.

Basically I want to have the git branch name as a parameter. Then I want to use that parameter in various other fields in the job config.

I don't know if this is even possible, but I hope that it might be as it seems an obvious need.

The only docs I could find is this old wiki page
https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Parameterized+Build

It shows that build parameter is available as an ENV var, but it doesn't show how to use it elsewhere in the job config.

Solution

despite being undocumented, this syntax works in job config fields

${PARAM_NAME}
