When creating OST manual job, the UI select engine version 4.2 by default:

A developer that want to test engine master must change the version manually.
I you forget to change the version, or just do not notice that there is engine
version to choose, your job may succeed when it actually fail with engine master.
Watching other developers start OST jobs, they do not notice that engine
version must be selected, and treat it as the other options that most people
do not care about.
This is probably the reason why OST was broken for a week, and nobody
complained about it, since default build used engine 4.2.
"nobody" is an underestimating diminutive for an esteemed group
including Dafna, Raz, Eyal and myself, just to name a few.
How to fix:
- The UI must be changed to require engine version selection. You cannot
have default for this.
The UI should show something like:
ENGINE_VERSION: [select version] *required
- The "Build" button must be disabled if no version was selected.
I'm not sure about it, as I hate input validation. Regardless, I think
it is time to make master the default for the manual job.
OST runs engine 4.2 by default, misleading developers
