Not really. I want to run the build of B and then A when I trigger A build.
Further then I want to deploy project A and would like project B to be
deployed as well, using the same primary build created when B was triggered
as a dependency.

I can do it automatically, using the Run another workflow step",  the
problem is that when I need to specify the environment, which will be
different from CI when it's a build from tag case. What I need is to be able
to find the dependencies, find its build life and then run the deploy
secondary workflow of B using the same parameters (environment) used for A.
Hope i haven't made it more confusing : )
