Jenkinsfile Groovy Pipeline Text Parameter Whitespace - jenkins

Question

currently I wish to added a multliline text parmeter to a groovy pipeline. If the text parameter is not left column alighed (no space before paramter), then whitespace is injected into the text parameter list.
Any ideas on how to resolve this?
Here is the code
#!/usr/bin/env groovy
node {
def startTime = new Date()
println "Build start time : " + startTime
// Load system parameters
def projectProperties = [
[$class: 'EnvInjectJobProperty', info: [loadFilesFromMaster: false, secureGroovyScript: [classpath: [], sandbox: false, script: '']], keepBuildVariables: true, keepJenkinsSystemVariables: true, on: true]
]
// Set project parameters
projectProperties.add(parameters([
string(name: 'infraRepo', description: 'Repo Name', defaultValue: 'my-infrastructure' ),
string(name: 'infraBranch', description: 'Repo Branch', defaultValue: 'develop' ),
string(name: 'projectName', description: 'Project name', defaultValue: 'think-more' ),
// Text field not left side aligned now whitespace will be injected
text(name: 'ecrRepoAndVersion', description: 'ECR Docker name and version number',
defaultValue:'''address=3.0.1
address-details=3.0.1
auth=3.2.1'''),
choice(name: 'clusterName', description: 'Ecs cluster name', choices: '---Select---\nblue-ci\ngreen-ci', defaultValue: '---Select---'),
]))
properties(projectProperties)
// Print system variables
sh 'env | sort'
}
And here is an image of how the Jenkins Job UI looks after this pipeline is executed. Note the whitespace in the ecrRepoAndVersion field.

Answer 1

Thank you - that worked perfectly.
text(name: 'ecrRepoAndVersion', description: 'ECR Docker name and
version number',defaultValue:"""address=3.0.7-RC\n
address-details=3.0.3-RC\nauth=3.2.3-RC""")

Answer 2

Setting aside the need for this logic, I would add a bit more readability and ease of maintenance by joining a list of items, instead of verbatim specification:
def ecrRepoAndVersionItemsDefault = [
"address=3.0.7-RC",
"address-details=3.0.3-RC",
"auth=3.2.3-RC",
]
...
// then construct an ArrayList
def jobParams = []
jobParams << ...
...
jobParams << text(
name: 'ecrRepoAndVersion',
description: 'ECR Docker name and version number',
defaultValue: ecrRepoAndVersionItemsDefault.join('\n')
)
// then add the properties
...
projectProperties.add(parameters(jobParams))
...
properties(projectProperties)
...
// etc.
