Description

Hi!

Nice work on Jenkins!

When I run a matrix build it is good to know when the parent job started and how long it took, but I also want to know when each configuration job started and how long each configuration job took.

Currently Jenkins displays the parent job start time on the configuration job status page. Could you change it to display the configuration build start time?

That would be great!

Research direction

Start at the matrix-project-plugin code for the configuration job status page and trace where its displayed start time is obtained. Change the displayed value to the configuration build's start time, then verify that matrix builds show each configuration's own start time rather than the parent job's time.
