[JIRA] Created: (JENKINS-9710) Expand environment variables in "Remote FS root" configuration of a node

Expand environment variables in "Remote FS root" configuration of a node
------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JENKINS-9710
                 URL: https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-9710
             Project: Jenkins
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: core
            Reporter: Angela Johansson
            Priority: Minor


I would like to be able to run several instances of Jenkins and have slaves that access the same machine from different instances. Therefore, I would like to start each Jenkins instance with a unique string ($INSTANCE) and have each slave workspace under /tmp/jenkins/$INSTANCE on the remote machine. In other words, I would like to have environment variable expansion in the "Remote FS root" field.

Expand environment variables in "Remote FS root" configuration of a node

This would be very nice indeed. I have a slightly different usecase: I'd like to specify the same build directory globally (with an env var), instead of having to change all 20 slaves manually.
