Thanks Dominik for following up.
Plugins that I am using is the flexible publish, conditional action, and parameterized trigger
so basically, setup a job with parameterized timer trigger. then in the post build, add a flexible publish step with condition, when the current job build cause is timer trigger, trigger parameterized build on another job.
works: when use timer trigger without parameter
doesn't work: when use timer trigger with parameter
sorry, I have no idea what this is all about, please provide some more background...
