I am using Parameterized Trigger Plugin to trigger a downstream build.

How do I specify that my upstream job should fail if the downstream fails? The upstream job is actually is dummy job with parameters being passed to the downstream.

Make sure you are using the correct step to execute your downstream jobs; I discovered that since I was executing mine as a "post build step", I didn't have the "Block until the triggered projects finish their builds" option. Changing that to "build task" as opposed to a "post build task", allowed me to find the options you are looking for within the Parameterized Trigger Plugin.
