jstr please try the pre-release version at https://repo.jenkins-ci.org/incrementals/org/jenkins-ci/plugins/parameterized-trigger/2.40-rc561.7ebe4c893148/parameterized-trigger-2.40-rc561.7ebe4c893148.hpi

timja Tried the pre-release version on our Jenkins, can confirm it solves the issue completely for both cases I made a screenshot for. Visuals are good, and build steps are responsive again (drag/drop).

Thanks a lot for the quick work!

I'll keep an eye out for any similar glitches on other build projects, but those two were the ones I was aware of.

Hi,

There is a side-effect on 2.40 (pre-release)

Jenkins can not set build result if Block until the triggered projects finish their builds checked, causing whole job failed.
issue reported: JENKINS-64538

 
Jenkins version: Jenkins 2.273
 
Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a free style project
2. Add a post-build action  >> Add "Execute script" >> Add "post build step" >> Add "build step" >> trigger/call build on other project
3. Trigger any project which will return SUCCESS and check block until triggered project finish their builds
4. Build the free style project
 
NOTE: if the downstream job return FAILURE, there is no exception.
Error Console Log:
...
