Jenkins to Jira integration: how to send deployment info for only the environment being deployed to?

[burt repine]

As we only deploy to 1 environment at a time we would like the Jira info sent for only that environment.

Currently it sends info for all environments if we write our pipeline syntax, using stages, as described here:

How Jenkins for Jira works 

We use a 'when' conditional to direct the script to the particular environment we would like to deploy to a la:

...
stage('deploy to DEV') { 
   when { expression { "$envName" == "DEV" } }
   steps {
      // deploy to DEV....only send Jira info for DEV
      ... 
   } 
}
stage('deploy to QA') {
   when { expression { "$envName" == "QA" } }
   steps {
      // deploy to QA....only send Jira info for QA
      ...

But in this scenario, deployment info is sent to Jira for BOTH environments which is really misleading.

Console output for a DEV deploy where deployment info for QA is also sent to Jira even though the Stage "deploy to QA" was properly skipped:

...
[Pipeline] stage
[Pipeline] { (deploy to QA)
