Bamboo provides a capability and requirements mechanism where jobs with specific requirements will only run on agents that provide the capabilities required.

Although specific capabilities can be set on the agent there is currently no mechanism to restrict the agent to only accept jobs that have a requirements matching the capability. The agent will accept any job that it has capability to run.

This feature request is to add the functionality to restrict the agent to only run jobs with specified requirements so as to prevent the agent from being busy when needed. eg. Have an agent only run jobs with the MYSOFT requirement and not run jobs that have not requested MYSOFT.

Although an agent can be dedicated to run specific jobs/plans using requirements and capabilities provides an easier mechanism for the user.
