How to configure server in Build Triggers → Gerrit event in job created by Job DSL

Question

I'm creating a Jenkins job which gets triggered by a commit to Gerrit.

pipelineJob(jobName) {
  displayName(displayString)
  triggers {
    gerrit {
      events {
        patchsetCreated()
      }
      project('plain:Verify', ['ant:**'])
      configure { project ->
        project / triggers << 'com.sonyericsson.hudson.plugins.gerrit.trigger.hudsontrigger.data.GerritProject' {
          serverName('aj-Gerrit')
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

This works fine and when I look in the UI, I see this.

However, what I would like is for the Gerrit server aj-Gerrit to be selected by default and not Any Server

I've tried to achieve this by adding in the configure block in my Groovy code,

configure { project ->
  project / triggers << 'com.sonyericsson.hudson.plugins.gerrit.trigger.hudsontrigger.data.GerritProject' {
     serverName('aj-Gerrit')
  }
}

but it doesn't seem to be working.

Is there a way to select a server by default?

The configure function doesn't exist in the gerrit closure. Usually, all available Job DSL options are visible on the page:

<your-jenkins-url>/plugin/job-dsl/api-viewer/index.html

However, the Gerrit plugin breaks the page (cause: JENKINS-53250).

This is generated XML when a server is added manually to the job:

You could try to use (different class than the one you used):

configure { project ->
  project / triggers << 'com.sonyericsson.hudson.plugins.gerrit.trigger.hudsontrigger.GerritTrigger' {
     serverName('aj-Gerrit')
  }
}

If it doesn't work, then more elements from the generated XML must be provisioned too.
