How to set Environment Variable so that it can be used in Jenkins

Question

I am using an Environment Variable so that that it can be modified and Recipient List will consume that environment variable.

So this value is passed as a build parameter: enter image description here

Followed to that I am modifying it. Just as an example:

enter image description here

Now I am accessing this value in the recipient list: enter image description here

Unfortunately Jenkins is not able to get this new value. It is using the old value. How this behavior can be fixed?

We need to use the EnvInject Plugin. One of the features is a build step that allows you to "inject" parameters into the build job from a settings file.

Create a property for the email list in the env.properties file:

echo "email_list=`dummy@test.com`"> env.properties

It will create the properties file in the job workspace directory.

env.properties

In Recipient list access this variable using the following:

"$email_list"
