Migration of sql agent jobs in SQL 2014 AlwaysON

Question

Hi All,
We are in process of implementing AG in SQL 2014. I am facing issues while checking jobs.
I have created the jobs on both nodes. However, I want the jobs to be executed only on primary.
For this, I started introducing a new step inside the sql agent job which will be my 1st step which checks whether it is Primary or not.
If not primary, I want the job to quit with Success else I want to proceed to next step as it is Primary.
But i wasn't able to adjust the Advanced option of 1st step where i am checking whether isPrimary or not. Can we adjust the advanced options of setting @on_success_step_id programmatically in 1st step itself... or Is there a better way to do this.
If anyone share that piece of logic would be a great help.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi jmcmullen,
This works fine. Thank you. But it is changing the behavior of the job.
Lets say for example I have node-a n node-b.
for eg: if the job is started at step1 on secondary(i.e. node-b) and we are checking if primary or not.if not primary , then we are the above action i..e
EXEC dbo.sp_update_jobstep
    @job_name = N'Test',
    @step_id = 1,
    @on_success_action=1,
    @on_success_step_id=0,
    @on_fail_action=1,
    @on_fail_step_id=0;
GO
At this stage , step1 options are changed i.e OnSuccess of step1 -> it is changed to "quit with a success".
Doing so, there is a problem. at this  now lets say failover happened,  the job now started on node-B which is primary now, and now the options are wrongly set for step1 which is OnSuccess it has to "go to next step" but it is quiting
with success. In GUI it shows below warning
WARNING: The following job steps cannot be reached with  the current job step flow logic:
Is this the intended behavior?
Does it makes sense ??
