How to add a new column with custom value extracted from the job?

Question

The current list of Jenkins jobs has 4 columns:

• Name
• Last Success
• Last Failure
• Last Duration

Is there any way to add a new column which would have some custom value extracted from the job?

Answer 1

From what I can tell you can definitely customize the columns for a custom view (I can't find where to change it for the "All" view, but it's probably possible). Unfortunately it doesn't look trivial to add a custom column without writing a plugin, for example the jacoco plugin:

Jenkins Java Doc:

Edit: This plugin might get you closer to what you're looking for:
