Hi,
I have created a job (Jenkins ver. 2.60.3) using pipeline definition and
it's 'triggers' directive for eg.
```
triggers { cron('0 4 * * *') }
```
My expectation was that once the job is created, it would get triggered as
per the specified cron expression by the system timer. However it seems the
job doesn't get periodically scheduled on creation. Only when it's manually
built once, the "Build periodically" field of the config gets populated
with the same cron expression as the one in the pipeline definition. Then
from next day onwards the job runs at 4 am as expected.
This is just my observation but I also noticed today that the docs do
mention that 'triggers' actually means 're-triggers'.
Accepts a cron-style string to define a regular interval at which the
> Pipeline should be re-triggered
https://jenkins.io/doc/book/pipeline/syntax/#triggers
Just want to confirm that my conclusion about this behaviour of pipeline is
correct as I couldn't find much clarification about it nor anyone else
facing the same issue.
Thanks,
Vineet
