      This feature would make plugin more intuitive. If you start root job and some of downstream jobs fail in some cases (maybe all) it is natural to expect that root job will be marked as failed. Check box in job settings marking downstream job execution result back-propogation would work great.

          This would be nice and I tried to implement this to make triggering the final builds easier. There is just one major problem: You cannot change the status of a job once it is finished. By definition, the downstream jobs start after the root job is finished. Therefore, it is somewhat impossible to implement this feature.
          Do you have any other ideas?
