downstream view/build graph for jobs launched via trigger builds on another project build step

[Arpit Gupta]

Hi All

We have a job today that generate's 0-n number of http calls to start various different builds on the same job. I wanted to avoid doing that. Playing with different options i found that i can add a build step to trigger builds on another project and add a parameter factory which can launch a job for every properties file found. This will work great for us. I can change the scripts to generate properties file instead of http calls. However one thing that is missing is being able to see the downstream view or build graph.

These view's work like a charm if you add a post build action to trigger downstream jobs. However that plugin does not support parameter factories https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-13966. 

So i was curious if i am missing some thing in how i am configuring my job that i do not see the downstream view or if there is a way to use post build action for downstream job trigger and achieve what i mentioned above. I did notice that if i enable the current job to be blocking on the builds it calls then the build graph shows up but not the downstream job. However i want to avoid making this job a blocking job.
