How to parse url parameters and use it when build with jenkins UI interface

Question

Is it possible to parse url parameters and then use it for build? Take the snapshot as example, I would like to parse HelloWorld into my parameters user_name when I hit the url \ https://\<jenkins-host>/job/<job-name>/build?<param-key>=<param-value>

Do I understand this correctly that you want to set the default value of a parameter in a parameterized project via an URL parameter? — Gerold Broser

@GeroldBroser Yes. I expect some solution that can parsing parameters string (HelloWorld in my case) from url and send string into my param when I build my parameterized project automatically. — swchen

The last part contradicts the title. There is "build with ... UI interface" vs. "build ... automatically" now. — Gerold Broser

For supplying default values for parameters in a parameterized project via the URL you can use the Build With Parameters plugin:

Allows the user to provide parameters for a build in the url, prompting for confirmation before triggering the job.

With that the URL:

http://localhost:8080/job/Parameterized_with_defaults_from_URL/parambuild/?Parameter=fromURL

results in:
