How to set next build number in Pipeline job?

  My jobs are in folders and in order to change the build number on them I did the following:

      job = Jenkins.getInstance().getItemByFullName("my-folder-name/my-job-name", Job.class)
      job.nextBuildNumber = 92
      job.save()

  I'm not sure why the 'getItem(jobname)' wouldn't find the job even when I specified the folder.

  JFYI, using getItem() you'd need to do (for the same result of course):
  job = Jenkins.getItem("my-folder-name").getItem("my-job-name")

  Hello James and Ed,

   

  I updated the article to use getItemByFullName. The getItem method only will search at the top level of a project, however if you have items in any subfolders (2* levels) it will not search.

   

  Thanks,

  Steve.

  I couldn't get this to work in my scenario.  Will this work if the build has already been kicked off from a multibranch pipeline script? I want to reset the build back to 1 if the version is greater than the previous version.  I posted a Jira ticket for Jenkins: https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-44757.
