It is a pretty bad idea to upload binaries to build results or work items.

Please see https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2015/10/28/build-artifacts-publishing-and-automated-build-output-management-using-the-plain-java-client-libraries/ for how you could keep the results on disk instead and publish a URL.

Even better would be to put this data into a binary repository such as Artifactory and publish a link.

As you can see from the link, it is possible to use API to get information from build results. So technically you could do what you describe although it is not clear when you would have a build tracking work item and how to trigger such a mechanism.

https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2018/03/26/work-item-command-line-4-1/ would allow to publish data to a work item from a command line.

1. I accept the point on manage binaries.

To track the release process, we use the Track build work item. basically we need to update the build snapshot name and build status and some links as post build step Track build work item. do we have any inbuilt future with RTC / Ration team concert plugin at Jenkins?
