Jenkins Hidden Parameters

Solution

You are looking for the Hidden Parameter Plugin.

Provide `hidden` parameter to Jenkins Jobs. Similar to `string` parameter but not displayed on the UI when triggering the jobs.

Useful when administrators want to enforce some parameters/variables to jobs

Problem

Looking around online and at Jenkins plugins I haven't had any luck finding the solution. Does anyone know if there is a "hidden" parameter available for Parameterized Builds in Jenkins? i.e., I would like to add a parameter type that cannot be changed and does not show up when "Build Now" is pressed.
