Jenkins multibranch pipeline does not respect quiet period in Jenkinsfile

I am using a Declarative Jenkinsfile with quiet period:

  options {
    quietPeriod(180)
    // more options
  }

Tool versions:

Now the issue is that on GitHub SCM changes, a standalone pipeline project respects the quiet period but a multibranch pipeline project does not. It returns no error either, just triggers the build immediately on receiving webhooks.

I am aware of the open issue JENKINS-37588 on this.

Using upstream wrapper jobs with build(job: 'my-job', quietPeriod: 180) is not feasible since I have several hundred multibranch projects.

Has anyone been able to find a solution or workable alternative? Any help will be appreciated.

Quiet period was respected by multibranch pipeline after doing this:

  • In multi-branch pipeline, Configure > Branch sources > Property strategy > Add property > ‘Suppress automatic SCM triggering”

  • In Jenkinsfile, set build trigger to 'Poll SCM', but do not specify a schedule. This will only run due to SCM changes if triggered by a web hook. (I think if you are using GitHub you can select 'GitHub hook trigger for GITScm polling')

  • In Jenkinsfile, set quiet period.

  • Configure web hook on SCM.

    pipeline{
          agent{label "Linux" }
    
              options {
                 quietPeriod(180)
                // more options
              }
    
              triggers {
                  pollSCM ''
              }
    
              stages{
                  stage("Test"){
                      steps{
                          echo "Test"
                      }
                  }
              }
          }

I think - unfortunately - this is currently not possible.

There is an unresolved ticket here: https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-37588

Also there is already an open pull request for this issue: https://github.com/jenkinsci/branch-api-plugin/pull/190
