How about define a configuration level variable say "destPath" prompting for the destination path, and then script the artifacts dest path of your promotion to be ${vars.getValue("destPath")}?

I tried defining a variable in the 'promotion' configuration, but it is not prompted for. Are you saying I would need to define the variable in the source build's configuration? That wouldn't be possible as we don't know at build time where it needs to be promoted to.

FYI, I use the 'destPath' variable to make up the buildVersion of the promotion configuration and this works successfully, it is just the 'destination' field that does not seem to pick it up
