[Anthill-pro] Composite workflow failing to run job on fixed agent

[Christopher Power]

No "somemachine" is the build machine where we have SVN installed, etc., and
the selected environment is composed of machines that can have apps deployed
to them.

Just saw this in the docs, doh!

"The Fixed Agent Filter return a specified Agent. Use of this Agent Filter
is discouraged because that Agent may not be available in the selected
Environment, thus causing the Job to fail."

Is there are way around this?

I was trying to avoid creating an entirely seperate workflow to do this
(which in this case would be 2 unless I can pass a workflow property from
the first workflow to the second).

Thanks,
Chris
