Same workspace for multiple jobs

I have a job called "development" and another project called "code analysis". At the moment we have two different jobs and different workspaces, but same code; is there any way we could use the same workspace for multiple jobs?
I checked the plugins available in Jenkins but I haven't found any suitable one.

Suppose your "development" Jenkins job workspace is /var/workspace/job1. In the "code analysis" job configuration page, under the tab General click on Advanced... and select the option Use custom workspace and give the same workspace /var/workspace/job1 as of your "development" job.

There is a Jenkins Plugins which enables you to create a shared workplace a setup them on every job which need the files from that given repository.

Use Case:

Similar to what you need, first create two jobs from the same Git Repository, then go to "Manage Jenkins" and you create a Shared Workspace. And point to it, on every job you need to read from that files.

PS: You should look into "Known Issues" could be a deal breaker for your needs.

sometimes, on fresh copied job, shared-space url parameter not saving to config on first "save", you should save job twice to be sure.

^^ This one it's still unresolved, I tried and still happens. After some several saves (just to be sure) the job runs perfectly.

if you were not able to find Use custom workspace you can located it under your project configure>General>Advanced>Use custom workspace

I tried the inheritance plugin and whoa! that thing is a sledgehammer when all I have is a tiny nail.

I ended up adding a Post-build Action of "Trigger parameterized build on other projects" with "Build on the same node" and a "Predefined parameter". The downstream job needs to have a parameter of the same name defined (WORKSPACE_PARENT) but you can leave it blank. You then define the downstream job with a custom workspace (under General > Advanced)

I chose a post-build action because the actual success of the build job is independent on the results of the downstream build (for now). If you want to bump the results of the downstream job up to the parent job, you need to add it as a build task, not a post-build action.

It works great for what I need.

Parent's post-build task: Parent's post-build task

Child's custom workspace: Child's custom workspace
