trigger jenkins build on tag creation with multibranch pipeline

Question

I\'ve got a stage in my Jenkinsfile for building from a tag matching a tag name filter:

      stage(\'Build Release from Tag\') {
        when {
          tag \'

I just needed to read https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-47496 more closely. Tags aren't built automatically by default. You have to install the Basic Branch Build Strategies plugin and activate building of tags for the pipeline. I did this and now it does build the tags automatically.
