Queue build on specific agent based on custom parameter

Question

I have a build definition with a custom process parameter. If set to true, I'd like the build to queue up on a specific agent, essentially overriding any agent name that's set in the definition. I'd rather not use tags because I don't think they'll be used properly, plus this seems more dynamic in nature. I'm thinking this could be done in the build process template somehow. Just not sure how to accomplish it.

You can customize the build process template to look at your custom workflow argument, and change the value of the AgentSettings.Name prior to the Run On Agent activity.
