[JENKINS-64132] Multibranch pipeline jobs in folders are being separated by underscores

When i'm creating a multibranch-pipeline job inside a folder, and next to it a freestyle project, i'd excpect that the file structure under linux would be the following

├── FolderName

         └── Job1 <- multibranch

                  └── branch1

                  └── branch2

         └── Job2 <- freestyle

 

but instead, it is

 

├── FolderName

 

         └── Job2 

├── FolderName_Job1_branch1

├── FolderName_Job1_branch2

 

 

and so on.

Is this the intended behavior of the plugin or is it a bug?

 

In any case I would like to know how it would be possible to exchange artifacts between the different jobs.

Please note:

I am aware of the behaviour with special characters in the branch name (for example "/") and already use the url-encoded names.

 

Possibly related issue:
