[JENKINS-72274] Promoted builds plugin can't detect folder level stored credentials

[jenkins-infra-bot]

I am trying to use credentials that are defined on the folder but when promotion happens, it fails to identify the credential ID. I checked with SYSTEM credentials, and in that case, it worked. So I think this is specifically tied with how creds are stored (system vs folder)

  Reproduced in a similar use case with AWS deploy:
  
  promoted builds plugin.  965.vcda_c6a_e0998f
  Jenkins  2.452.2
  
  AWS credentials in Jenkins credential store
  
  	
  Credentials copy-pasted from a password manager, so not chance of mistyping
  
  
  
  
  	
  We have a security goal to stop using credentials with global access.
  
  
  
  
  Folder level credentials:  same error as in this ticket
  
  Global credentials:  success.
