Specifying parameters on Custom Builds of Chained build configurations
We have a simple Build Chain Compile->Test->Completion. How do invoke a custom build that allows the sharing of a parameter among all the build configurations of the build chain?

Hi
You can use Dependencies Properties for that.
This is not what we are looking for. On our example of a build chain you invoke "Completion" which causes "Compile", then "Test" to run. When invoking "Completion" we need to be able to pass a parameter to the "Compile" build configuration. Specifying a dependent property on the Custom Build of "Completion" is not passed to the "Compile" build step.
I need exactly this as well.
From the REST api you can trigger a build and specify the properties for that run, the same functionality is needed for dependencies so you can "cascade" properties down the chain.
Sorry, Richard. In such direction properties cannot be referenced.
