Webhook not sending pull request ID to Jenkins

[alhanger]

Before our builds run Jenkins executes a Groovy script to set a description for the build which contains a hyperlink back to the pull request, as well as the pull request ID. A link to the pull request is still being set in the description, but the pull request ID is null. Here is the Groovy script.

def currentBuild = Thread.currentThread().executable
def PULL_REQUEST_URL = build.buildVariableResolver.resolve('PULL_REQUEST_URL')
def PULL_REQUEST_ID = build.buildVariableResolver.resolve('PULL_REQUEST_ID')
def description = "<a href='$PULL_REQUEST_URL'>PR #$PULL_REQUEST_ID</a>"
currentBuild.setDescription(description)

It is not clear if the resolve() method is returning null, or if the ID is simply not sent in the payload (my hunch is the latter). This recently started occurring after upgrading our version of Webhook to Jenkins. Any help is greatly appreciated.
