Hi all,  
could someone please provide a guide or reference for the issue.  
I’m using a Jenkins pipeline job with a string parameter that specifies the branch for deployment. I want this parameter (or branch name) to be visible in the job’s build history.  
Our old Jenkins setup displayed this information .  
However, with the latest Jenkins version, I’m not seeing this information. Can anyone help me fix this or suggest which plugin to use for it?
