Description
Given a pipeline script, I configure to execute a build step to build a (existing) job:
build job: 'Project-Build-Job1_Kickoff', wait: true
The job is triggered successfully, and the pipeline waits for its completion. But, the called build job has a post-build action defined of kind "trigger parameterized build on other project". The pipeline does not wait for the downstream build, only for the first one in the chain which is referenced by name in the pipeline script. It is expected that the existing functionality is used and embedded "as is", thus pipeline waits for completion of complete downstream chain.
Update: this works as a sequence of build jobs linked with Post Build Actions. Triggering the first one via Pipeline, the downstreamed ones are triggered as well, but the Pipeline does not block until completion. This is critical because this prevents migration.

Hi Jesse Glick, yes, exactly, as described, the use case is to have an option for integration with existing project chains.
It could be particular intersting for users to have this option as part of a migration path, which is often helpful with new versions of tools.
If the downstream build doesn't itself wait for its own downstreams to complete, I don't think it makes sense to add additional logic to the build step to watch for downstreams of the downstreams and so forth and wait for them too.
As designed—you should either make the immediate downstream project use a blocking trigger, or remove the triggers from the freestyle projects entirely and use Pipeline to orchestrate the whole thing—though it would be useful to have such an option for integration with existing freestyle project chains.
