      If build 5 has already been promoted, one cannot then promote build 4, as the copy artifacts plugin permalink options only allow "Latest promoted XXX" where XXX is the type of promotion.
      It won't complain, but you'll get the artifacts from build 5, not build 4 as build 5 is a later build than 4 and is already promoted.
      I'd like a permalink option defined as "build from which promotion was triggered".

          A workaround is described here:
          http://overwatering.org/blog/2012/04/promotions-with-jenkins/
          where they also describe the copy-artifacts mechanism as not working.

          I'm setting priority to critical because of this problem promotion is useless for me. I need to push artefacts around and use properties file to pass build parameters from base build. Because of this problem that's not even possible with described workaround.

          the semantics of the permalink seems off. The behavior of the permalink is "latest build that has been promoted" vs. the specified "latest promoted build" (even the promotion status page shows that the older build is the latest promoted).
