Dependent build configuration build number

Is it possible to have a build configuration take the build number from the configuration it is dependent on?

If build configuration A depends on B by snapshot dependency you can use the following undocumented property:
%dep.<B build conf id>.system.build.number%

You guys are brilliant! That works perfectly. Any chance that property will be documented in the future?

Just for anyone's future reference, the property reference would be %dep.bt85.system.build.number% if the target configuration's buildTypeId happens to be bt85. You can get the buildTypeId from the link to the dependency build configuration. That took me a couple of tries to figure it out.

Yes it's a good feature!

It should be a good idea to be able to get the build number of the build which has triggered the current build!

something like this :
%trigger.system.build.number%

and/or a pattern : {triggerBuilNumber}

And is there any way to get the build that has triggered the running build programmatically?

something like this : SRunningBuild.getTrigger()

Hello Xavier,

   Regarding the API to access TriggeredBy information, please see SBuild::getTriggeredBy (available only in TC 4.0+).

   Good point about trigger.system.build.number. Could you please file this into our tracker?

   Kind regards,
