Issue

I want to display Japanese Characters in the description of a Job

Environment

• DEV@cloud

Resolution

It is possible to display Japanese characters in the description. However there is a problem during Form Submission and you cannot use the UI. To update the job description, you need to use the CLI/REST API to update the job.

1. Example using the Jenkins CLI:

   java -jar jenkins-cli.jar -s http://localhost:8080/ update-job my-job < my-config.xml
   

2. Example using the REST API:

   curl -v -X POST \
   --data-binary @my-config.xml \
   -u "user:$token" \
   -H 'Content-Type: application/xml' \
   "http://jenkins:port/job/my-job/config.xml"
