Hi Tanvi,

Thank you for the report.
Sorry, I don't understand your use case with just the title.
Can you be more specific ?

Instead of Build Other Projects, I would use the publisher "Trigger new parameterized job" where you can pass the generator parameters, see the example on the wiki page.

Thanks for quick response Sylvain!
I was trying to add a Build Step : "Build Other Projects" and passing value in Project to builds = ${var}_FVT.
Since the Job name is not yet present, this was vanishing after saving the Job Configuration. Yes i can use "Trigger new parameterized job", but "Build Other Projects" should also be able to work.

Thanks,
Tanvi

You are right, the default choice to trigger another job should work, I will look into this issue.
