Adam Vollmer commented on JENKINS-13044: ---------------------------------------- I've just run into this particular issue. Until I ran across this JIRA, it didn't click that I could actually press the drop down expand button; I was attempting to enter newlines. It might help to change the documentation to make it blindingly obvious that you need to press the drop down expand button, or it might be best to just make this a multiple line input by default. > Ant multiple properties delimited by spaces parsed as a single property > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: JENKINS-13044 > URL: https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-13044 > Project: Jenkins > Issue Type: Bug > Components: ant > Affects Versions: current > Environment: SunOS ldnwebv10 5.10 Generic_120012-14 i86pc i386 i86pc > Solaris > Jenkins STABLE 1.424.3 > Reporter: Ed Randall > > Configuring an Ant task on a job with multiple properties on 1 line separated > by a space, ie.: > name1=value1 name2=value2 > Results at execution time in: > ant ...
