[JENKINS-51902] build-timestamp-plugin does not ignore empty 3rd field 'shift timestamp'

[jenkins-infra-bot]

Per the people commenting on the wiki :

https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Build+Timestamp+Plugin

Version 1.0.2 broke existing setups, and then does NOT allow an 'empty' field for the 3rd optional parameter of "Shift timestamps"

The hack/workaround is to specify "- 0 days 0 hours 0 minutes" instead.

  I also ran into this issue, I'm just pointing out I wasn't the first. People on the wiki beat me to it. I am 'officially' reporting it here.

  mhall4 - Thanks for the hack/workaround.  I also lost my preconfigured additional timestamps after upgrading the plugin to the latest.  Couldn't recreate them until I found this.
