Renaming job in jenkins/hudson

Question

I have tried to rename a hudson/jenkins job. However it failed to rename.

Is there any way so I can rename the job?

Answer 1

1. Create a new job with new name, there will be an option of copy from an existing job.
2. copy from the job you want to rename.
3. Delete the original job.

Now you have an identical job with a different name.
