Sharing a build number among the plans of a single Bamboo proejct.

Question

I am using Atlassian Bamboo as my continuous integration server. For a project, I’ve defined two plans, namely development plan and release plan. Unfortunately, Bamboo uses two separate build numbers for each of these plans. This prevents me from identifying a build in the scope of project using its build number. Is there any way to share a single build number between all the build plans of a project in Bamboo?

Hadi,

I have the exact same requirement - how did you go about solving this?

Thanks

But that would not by synch with the build numbers shown in Bamboo. I want them to be unified. Can I pass these build-generated numbers to Bamboo to be used in its user interface?

Consider using your source control revision number instead or having your build script generate a unique number is some other way.
