Precise the changeset for a freestyle project

Hello,

Is there a way to choose the changeset to update to on a freestyle project ?
The way our branches are setup now imply a lot of different branching and to avoid more complex branching + cherry pick when searching for a bug, it would be great if we can choose the changeset we want to build from. If no changeset specify, the last one for the chosen branch should be used.

Thanks.

Hi! Do you need to use build parameters or you just want to know how to configure a specific changeset in the selector?

Hi! I wanted to use a specific changeset in the selector, as Carlos replied in this post. But I didn't know it was possible as I don't found any documentation on the selector.

I'm happy to know that you already found the answer 😃 There is indeed little documentation on the selector because it's a remnant of the previous Plastic SCM versions which isn't used anymore. We're planning on removing it in future versions of the Jenkins plugin and use a more straightforward syntax.
