Thanks Nicolas. I didn't think there was a way to do it, but thought maybe there was a better (more creative) solution than what I came up with. People are going to look at job X and wonder why there are two parameters (Y and Y_OVERRIDE). It would be really nice if Jenkins had the concept of "hidden parameters" :)

By nature, dynamic parameters are computer by the job to use them, can't be force to a "fixed" value by the invoker. 2013/8/16 Bob Bick <bb...@netjets.com<mailto:bb...@netjets.com>> Hi, A build flow job invokes job X that has a dynamic parameter Y. The build flow job also has the dynamic parameter Y that it passes to job X. Ideally, parameter Y from the build flow job should override the calculated dynamic parameter value for job X. Unfortunately, when the build flow job invokes job X, job X recalculates parameter Y. Q. Is there a way to have job X use parameter Y? That is, I'd like the dynamic parameter script to check whether the value has already been set, and if so, then use that value. Right now, to get this behavior to work, I am planning to create two parameters (Y and Y_OVERRIDE) for job X ... and then use Y_OVERRIDE. Any other ideas as to a better way to do this? This seems like an awful hack.
