Build Jenkins job with Build periodically option with different argument

Question

I have a Jenkins job which accepts only BranchName(bitbucket) as an input parameter.

I have scheduled this Job to run every morning 7 AM with Build periodically option H 7 * * *.

On triggering automatically, it takes default input parameter as development.

Now my requirement is that I need to pass few other branch names as input parameter automatically.

One option I tried it Down stream job with other branch name, but that works only from one branch and not a sophisticated solution.

Is there an easy way I can achieve this?

Can you give a try using [Extensible Choice Parameter](https://plugins.jenkins.io/extensible-choice-parameter/) — Sourav, Aug 09 '20 at 08:42

If you only want to run a known set of branches you can either:

Create an upstream job for every branch that triggers the build with different parameters.
Create one upstream job, that utilize an list, loop over that list and execute the jobs in parallel.

If you need to get the list of branches dynamically, I would assume, that running sh script: 'git branch', returnStdout: true and some Groovy string split operation is the easiest way to archive that.

Thanks crash, execute the jobs in parallel helped. – MANGESH KHAKE Aug 27 '20 at 10:20 — MANGESH KHAKE, Aug 27 '20 at 10:20
