Description
I have matrix builds which run on several nodes, and if a "deploy" checkbox param was selected when the build ran we call a deploy job to push the code out for testing. Unfortunately, using a conditional build step for this causes the deploy to happen for every build node. It should only be run once in our case, after all builds succeed.
If I could use a conditional build step as a post-build action, this would work perfectly!

As for
if $some_build_param = "true" trigger a downstream build with parameters end
– Shouldn't this be doable with the ParamTriggerPlugin? You can have the parameters for the downstream job loaded from a properties file, and you can use this file as "condition", with teh checkbox that doesn't trigger if the file's missing.
Interesting, that might work for us. I'll experiment with it. I still would prefer to be able to do actual conditional logic, using the Conditional Build Step plugin, in post-build steps. On matrix builds. 
The problem with triggering only if a properties file exists is, in a matrix job I have to copy the file from the slave to the master before I can trigger on it. Just an annoying extra post-build step in every job.
And I can't see anything in the current version of parameterized trigger that gets me what I want.
To go back to the original bug request: I want to be able to use conditional build steps in a post-build action. Specifically, I want to be able to say:
if $some_build_param = "true"
trigger a downstream build with parameters
end
I need this as a post-build action, in matrix builds.
