[FIXED] Trigger a Jenkins build for a branch and a commit

Issue

I have 2 Jenkins (scripted) pipelines: main and e2e. My flow is: run the main pipeline which has a stage that triggers the e2e pipeline

stage('Trigger e2e') {
  build(
    job: 'e2e/my-repo/master',
    propagate: false,
    wait: false
  )
}

The problem here is that the e2e pipeline always checks out the latest master, which might cause inconsistency. I want to check out the same revision as the main pipeline (that triggered it).

Is there a way to trigger a specific revision within a pipeline?

One solution I have found is to pass the revision as a parameter to the e2e pipeline and then do checkout scm for that revision. But is there any other way to achieve it?

Not that I know of: as explained in "Jenkins pipeline: checkout explicit git commit", you need a parameter for a checkout step to be able to set your Jenkins workspace with the right version of the code.
