Description
Folders plugin is a great way to organize per project jobs.
But in case of a feature branch builds its healt metrics is useless, currently it shows the worst child metric, which in case of feature builds will very often be bad, and doesn't bring any information to the user.
I propose to have another metric: copy the health from a single job inside the folder.
This way i could make the folder health metric be based on master branch build, and ignore the feature branches.
