Can a Hudson job set a description of its own build?

I'm aware there is Web API allowing this trick using current build number. But it requires authentication thus script must be edited on each hudson.

Is there a way to achieve that from script or through plugin?

If you're talking about setting the description of a build, Jenkins can do this, based on a regular expression in the build output.

Thanks, there is similar plugin for Hudson. – Bid 16/1, 2012 at 15:41

Perhaps, but you should upgrade; plus that plugin isn't maintained for Hudson any more. https://mcmap.net/q/80287/-how-to-choose-between-hudson-and-jenkins-closed/234938 – Bresnahan 16/1, 2012 at 15:51
