[JENKINS-48282] Label Parameter should become a choice instead of text field

Why is the label parameter not displayed as a choice when initiating the build of a job?

At the moment it is displayed as a text field and I don't understand why is it that way?

Why is the label parameter not displayed as a choice when initiating the build of a job?

• environment: nodelabelparameter plugin 1.7.2

Start by reproducing the nodelabelparameter plugin 1.7.2 behavior when initiating a Jenkins job build and inspect how the label parameter is rendered. Clarify where the available label choices should come from and consider the work done when the parameter is presented as a usable choice instead of a text field.
