How can I run the first job with a parameter so that when it triggers the second job, the same pa

Answer 1

Just add my answer in addition to Nigel Kirby's as I can't comment yet:

In order to pass a dynamically created parameter, you can also export the variable in 'Execute Shell' tile and then pass it through 'Trigger parameterized build on other projects' => 'Predefined parameters" => give 'YOUR_VAR=$YOUR_VAR'. My team use this feature to pass npm package version from build job to deployment jobs

UPDATE: above only works for Jenkins injected parameters, parameter created from shell still need to use same method. eg. echo YOUR_VAR=${YOUR_VAR} > variable.properties and pass that file downstream
