[JENKINS-56292] Job launching parameterized build on other project fails

I have a Jenkins job trgigering a parameterized build of other job.Since I have update to Jenkins version 2.165 from version 2.157 I see the build fails with the error below.

The parameters for this job are read from a property file set as:

${TEMP}\${BUILD_TIMESTAMP}.prop

in the field "Use properties from file"

If I click on the help for this field it is written:

"Comma seperated list of absolute or relative paths to file(s) that contains the parameters for the new project."

So absolute paths should be still allowed.

Raw content of original issue

I have a Jenkins job trgigering a parameterized build of other job.Since I have update to Jenkins version 2.165 from version 2.157 I see the build fails with the error below.


The parameters for this job are read from a property file set as:

So absolute paths should be still allowed.
