Create new build parameter from meta runner
Hi there,
is it possible to introduce a new build parameter from a meta runner in a way, that this new parameter is available for the following build steps?
The newly created/introduced build parameter should not be prevent the build from starting because it is considered to be required for the build to start on any build agent - and it should not have to be defined in the build parameters section of the build configuration.
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot in advance,
(Bernie).

Hi Bernie,
sorry for the delay. Unfortunately this is not possible. If you need to do so, please define it at the build configuration level, you can leave it empty or give it an initial value, and then have it changed by the meta runner as needed. Build steps can be reordered, added or removed, and a build step that would use such a parameter, in case the meta runner was removed, its step ignored or anything, would suddenly find itself without a valid value, leading to issues.
