title: Passing/Initializing Parameter from Last Build in TeamCity Build Chain
body: <p>I just started with the TeamCity CI server. I have 2 builds</p>
  <ul>
  <li>API-Tests</li>
  <li>UI-Tests</li>
  </ul>
  <p>Both these builds run in parallel whereas both the builds will have a dropdown config parameter with choices(Regression, Sanity)</p>
  <p>I have a build name <strong>Release</strong> with a similar dropdown config parameter with choices(Regression, Sanity) and this build depends on both <strong>API-Tests</strong> and <strong>UI-Tests</strong>. The build <strong>Release</strong> will have to trigger manually by choosing the dropdown parameter(Regression, Sanity).</p>
  <p>I want to pass the option chosen in the <strong>Release</strong> build to both <strong>API-Tests</strong> and <strong>UI-Tests</strong> builds. I can't use %dep.*%, since <strong>Release</strong> build depends on <strong>API-Tests</strong> and <strong>UI-Tests</strong> builds.</p>
  <p>I have attached the build chain for reference. Please guide me to fix the requirement or suggest at least a workaround.</p>
