Using credentials in Jenkins Promoted Builds

Question

Outside of chaining separate Jenkins builds together, is there a way within a single build to get credentials (via binding or otherwise) or Injected Passwords available for use within the Promoted Builds plugin?

I'm using other environment variables that I wrote to a file in my build step and then read in using the Inject environment variables, but I was not looking to repeat that for a secret used at deploy/promotion time.

Note: I am using Jenkins 2.45

Thanks!

I'd like to use the credentials for the runtime of my application in the promoted environment (i.e. something like setting environment variables for the application once promoted). Used in a similar vein to Vault, etc. — Larry Anderson

Unfortunately, this doesn't look possible, it is marked as a bug in the Jenkins tracker:

JENKINS-14169 Injected env variables not available for use in processing promotion.
