Tag workflows supported by Jenkins

Freestyle project

Tags are supported using the default configuration. This assumes Branch to Build filter is set to an empty value. If you do not want tags to be processed, they can be disabled from either the Bitbucket or Jenkins side.

Pipelines

Pipeline jobs support tags. It requires setting Branches to Build parameter to **/**.

As of September, 2018 it's not supported. Git plugin represents tag as branch and then it gets filtered out
