I thought I would post another answer for people that might be looking for something similar.

In our build job we have cases where we would want the build to continue, but be marked as unstable. For ours it's relating to version numbers.

So, I wanted to set a condition on the build and set the build to unstable if that condition is met.

I used the Conditional step (single) option as a build step.

Then I used Execute system Groovy script as the build step that would run when that condition is met.

I used Groovy Command and set the script the following

import hudson.model.*

def build = Thread.currentThread().executable
build.@result = hudson.model.Result.UNSTABLE

return

That seems to work quite well.

I stumbled upon the solution here
