The moving of folders and items in folders is coming back (already checked in https://github.com/jenkinsci/cloudbees-folder-plugin/commit/efac1d2625bd9b58eb6841e632389306d97a9a4a) but the OSS version does not have the passivation fancy logic in the JE version, so will only move folders when it is absolutely safe to do so... the JE version will try a lot harder and block builds that would stall progress. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Jenkins Users" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Users" group.
