The plugin offers you two ways to create and maintain step patterns that you use in your story writing:
- automatically uploading them programmatically from your CI server
- creating and editing them via the built in step patterns screen
You can use the two approaches simultaneously however the recommended approach would be to allow for a one time upload by your CI server when you begin using the plugin for a particular project and then to disable the automatic upload by the CI server and use only step patterns screen for further management of step patterns from then on.

To disable the uploading of step patterns programmatically navigate to the plugin configuration page (see more here) and set the option titled 'Uploading of step patterns from Java client' to Off as shown in the screenshot below and click the Update button.
Note while setting this option to Off you want to ensure that the option titled 'Editing of step patterns' which controls whether editing of step patterns via the step patterns screen is enabled as opposed to being able to view them only is set to On, otherwise you would not have no way to update the step patterns.
