Why does the plan key have job name appended to it.

Kshitij Korde

I am writing a Bamboo plugin. The PlanKey get the I get from the context "public boolean shouldDisplay(Map<String, Object> context)" is TPRO1-TPLAN1-JOB1.

PlanKey planKey = PlanKeys.getPlanKey((String) context.get("planKey"));

why does it have the job id appended to it? 

Should it not only be the plan key i.e TPRO1-TPLAN1?

You can have multiple jobs within the same plan. And each job can run in parallel, acting as if they are different mini-plans. Most of the time, you will need the job id as well when you automate something, if it has to work in all scenarios.

If I remember correctly, PlanKeys has other methods to retrieve different parts of the full key.
