Answer 1

Blue Ocean's pipeline editor does not seem to work properly, cause it still in development.

Although, I have found walk-around. To be able to edit script in fancy visual editor you have to open editor's sandbox-mode page:

[your_jenkins_URL/blue]/organizations/jenkins/pipeline-editor/

Then you have to use magic shortcut Ctrl+S (cause buttons are old-fashioned). Ta-da you now have access to code of displayed things.

Feel free to paste your code and copy back after making changes using this app.

Answer 2

You can install the replay pipeline feature available in jenkins. This will allow you to edit your Jenkinsfile and re-run it without committing the changes to your original file (can be done for n number of times). So once you are satisfied with your Jenkinsfile, then you can commit those changes in your original file.
