Use the cli much more efficient and faster!

> java -jar jenkins-cli.jar -s http://jenkinsserver get-job nameofJob >
> myjob.xml

Then simply view myjob.xml in browser

One can view a Jenkins job configuration as XML in the browser by appending config.xml to the end of the URL. For example, if you have the following URL to a Jenkins job https://jenkins.mycompany.com/job/myjob, append config.xml: https://jenkins.mycompany.com/job/myjob/config.xml. This also works for users who do not have write access to the job.

This solution was tested with Jenkins 2.138.

Credit for this answer goes to Terraform user taiidani, who mentioned this in the Jenkins provider documentation: https://registry.terraform.io/providers/taiidani/jenkins/latest/docs/resources/job#template
