I cannot find a way to edit the configuration of multibranch pipeline projects. When I change to the branch level, there is only a "view configuration" menu item, as opposed to ordinary pipeline projects. I am looking for a method to configure build triggers from outside Jenkins. My current workaround (define a pipeline per branch) is not feasible beyond initial testing.

You can edit the overall configuration of a multi-branch pipeline project, such as the repo it will read from and any credentials it will need, triggers for scanning the branch to check for changes (Note: not the same as build triggers),orphaned item strategy, build configuration, properties, and a few other things. This can be viewed by clicking "Configuration" on the page that shows all the branches, or it will say it is empty if there are none. Please note this only applies to multibranch pipelines that are not part of an organizational folder (not a "Bitbucket Team/Project" or "GitHub Organization" type project.) <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/Nbym4.png" alt="enter image description here"> <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/SjUmv.png" alt="enter image description here"> <hr> If you click a branch name (ex: master), clicking "View Configuration" will only let you view it. You have to edit the file defining that pipeline on the correct branch in order to change it. In the case of these screen shots, you need to edit the <code>Jenkinsfile</code> in the <code>Test-Multibranch-Job</code> repo on the <code>master</code> branch to edit the configuration. To add a trigger mechanism, you could add <code>triggers { gitlab(<config-here>) }</code> to your <code>Jenkinsfile</code> if your repo is in Gitlab.
