There is no change that has occurred as the promotion is its own job, and therefore has its own ${JOB_NAME}
which is parent_jobname/promotions/<
promotion_name>
So the behaviour is consistent when using the custom workspace option.
If you read the wiki page [1] for the plugin there is a warning on the workspace that is used.

We use the promoted builds plugin, and I've just discovered an annoying difference in behaviour depending on whether a custom workspace is used.
Previously, I used a custom workspace: ${JENKINS_WORKSPACE_PARENT}/${JOB_NAME}
When a promotion ran, the working directory was set to ${JENKINS_WORKSPACE_PARENT}/${JOB_NAME}/promotion/<name of promotion>
Ie, it appends /promotion/<name of promotion> to the workspace path.
I then set up a similar job but without a custom workspace
When a promotion ran, the working directory was set to the original workspace path, the "/promotion/<name of promotion>" was not there appended.
This caused no end of confusion, but more importantly, why the difference? Is that intentional or a bug?
I'm using 2.6.1 of the promoted builds plugin (the latest), Jenkins 1.472.
Has anyone else encountered this?
Thanks
Matthew
