Duplicate builds triggered on Jenkins multibranch pipeline

Question

We are seeing duplicate builds triggered on Jenkins multibranch pipeline projects. Builds are normally triggered using push notifications from Bitbucket using this plugin: http

I'm using a multi-branch pipeline too and I may have some information for you.

When you create a "GitHub organization" job in Jenkins and add the relevant Git information, you are also required to select how Jenkins builds are triggered and how often:

Jenkins will scan the repositories under your configured GitHub organization as often as you set it.

Then, Jenkins will automatically trigger a build as soon as it finds that a new commit has been committed (as long as the Jenkins-Git webhook is configured).

When branch indexing takes place, it also triggers a build.

In other Jenkins job styles you are able to configure "Do not allow concurrent builds" but I couldn't find this setting for a multi-branch job style.

I hope this sheds some light on the matter.
