Parametrize Hudson build from the job dashboard

I'm using Hudson for iOS continuous integration w开发者_如何学Gohere Hudson starts a shell script. So what I really want to do it's to be able to parametrize a build from the job's dashboard (e.g I want to have a checkbox and if it's ticked I use another branch of the code in my shell script). Is there any plugin for this?

I've seen Parameterized Build Plugin but either I don't understand how it's working or it doesn't do what I want

You choose your job, click 'Configure' and on the settings page you choose 'This build is parameterized'. Then you add a parameter - in your case Boolean - and specify the name of your parameter:

You can then use this parameter as input for your shell script. If you named your parameter FOO, you use $FOO to reference it.

When you choose 'Build now' on that job, you will be asked for the parameters:
