      Using a normal "build" step > "Trigger/call builds on other projects"
      and "Predefined Generator parametes" then the parameters are not resolved
      correctly.
      For example if I use "LANGUAGE" as generator parameter and set it to EN the
      generated job will be "${LANGUAGE}_C" using "${LANGUAGE}_C" as "Generated
      Job Name". Expected name is "EN_C".

      Using "File Generator Parameter Factory" also resulted in one "${LANGUAGE}_C" job.

          Hi,
          any updates on this issue?

          I have noticed the same problem, while designing a CI pipeline where a 'master' job is waiting (so it is blocked) for other's job completions.
          That's why I would like to use the build" step > "Trigger/call builds on other projects" to call a generator.
          I have installed the latest plugin version on Jenkins 1.554.1.

          Thanks.

          This is only the case if you are within a Generator Project.

          In this project it seems it does not evaluate any Predefined Generator parameters from a Trigger/call builds on other projects step within the Build section.
          Workarround is to define Generator Parameters as Job Parameter or to place trigger within the Post-Build action but than you cannot block.

          So you cannot have a generator project, generating a project that triggers a parameterized generator.
