Customize build monitor text

I would like the ability to customize the build monitor text dynamically from a Jenkinsfile. e.g.…

pipeline {
  stages {
    stage('Run Analysis') {
      steps {
        // do some stuff
        // the text I want to display in Build Monitor is now in output.txt
      }
    }
    stage('Update Build Monitor') {
      steps {
        // ???
      }
    }
  }
}

I couldn’t find any way to do this in the docs. Is this possible currently? If not, I would like to submit it as a feature request.

For every build you can set a description programmatically. By default it contains a date of build I believe. Just put a HTML there, e.g.: currentBuild.description='line1<br/>HTML test<br/>line2'

What you can do today is:

1. Use a display name for the job, which will replace “QA >> my-repo” with a static name, for example “Customer satisfaction”
2. Set the build description after the execution with a desired statement, or use postbuild badges
3. Disable committers for that job
