We have decided to finally get rid of freestyle jobs in our Jenkins.
Is it possible to prevent freestyle jobs from being created?
Could try modify Daniel Beck's hide-maven plugin to Hide Freestyle ?

I have freestyle Jenkins job with Jira Release Version Parameter:
I need to migrate this job to use Jenkins pipeline instead of freestyle job. Can somebody give me a piece of pipeline code (in declarative language) which does that?
After some investigation, we figured out that at this moment it is not possible to implement this plugin in the pipeline job.
I want to promote one job(A) from another job(B) in jenkins once job B is successful. Was checking out if there is some "Promote Another Job Plugin" exist or not to achieve the same.
You might want to best use this plugin:
Jenkins Parameterized Trigger plugin
*You will need to use this in Post-build Actions in Jenkins job(B) which will trigger job(A)
As answered in Allow promotion of job in Jenkins pipeline there is a Promoted Builds Plugin which does not support delclarative pipelines. So if you do not use a declarative pipeline it could work for you.
I have mutibranch job in jenkins. Is there any way i can do the multibranch job configurations in a Jenkinsfile? like branchsource , behaviours etc in multibranch job i want to store as a code
Short answer is NO.
But if you still want it, you can store job xml configuration in Git, and then update job through Jenkins API using a local script or even another Jenkins job. Don't recommend though.
I have 2 jobs. One is a regular freestyle job on Jenkins that is supposed to trigger another job which is a Multibranch pipeline job.
The issue is whenever I enter the name of the Multibranch job in the "Projects to Build column", I get an error - "x is not buildable". But the Multibranch job works perfectly well on its own and there are no problems with it.
Is "Build other projects" post build action (downstream project) not compatible with Jenkins pipelines? What am I missing here?
I have found a temporary solution, where it is required that I need to mention 'Multibranch_Pipeline_Job/Sub_Job_Name', where Sub_Job_Name is the name of one of the many jobs in the Multibranch job.
Although this works out well, it is not a very feasible solution. If a Multibranch job has many branches containing Jenkinsfiles, it is required that all these sub-jobs be mentioned separately in "Projects to Build" column.
If there is more viable solution where it is possible to execute the Multibranch pipeline job entirely (all the sub-jobs), please answer here. It would be much appreciated.
I have tons of existing Freestyle Jenkins jobs in my old Jenkins Instance and now I would like to migrate them to New Jenkins 2.0 pipeline jobs using a Jenkins file.
I am following this page to create a Jenkins file: https://jenkins.io/doc/book/pipeline/jenkinsfile/
Can someone please suggest me if there is any easy way (or) plugin i can use to convert these existing job's to pipeline view.
I haven't tried the plugin but while searching for same i came across this post:
https://jenkins.io/blog/2017/12/15/auto-convert-freestyle-jenkins-jobs-to-coded-pipeline/
Maybe this can help. Will update more after actually giving it a ago. You can go through and try by yourself as well.
don't think there is an automatic tool to convert jobs.
We created all new jobs with Jenkins DSL plugin
for the Jenkinsfile - we created some good examples of our basic flows and each team convert the relevant jobs.
