So here's some odd behavior: Parent job has parameter 'ReleaseNum' set. Child job is set to use '$ReleaseNum' as part of a new string parameter 'TargetDir' to create a directory path. There is an artifact copy step that uses $TargetDir to copy artifacts. There is also an execute shell step that uses $TargetDir.
In the copy artifacts step, $TargetDir never resolves $ReleaseNum and the files are copied to /home/whatever/$ReleaseNum. In the execute shell step, $TargetDir is correctly populated. I got around it by deleting the $TargetDir parameter and entering the same path in both jobs as mostly hardcoded plus the $ReleaseNum parameter. I am sad that it is not working as expected. Am I doing something wrong?
