### Apache Airflow version 3.1.0 ### If "Other Airflow 2/3 version" selected, which one? _No response_ ### What happened? When using Dynamic Task Mapping, it is possible to define the parameter map_index_template, which replaces the numeric map_index value in the Airflow UI. This improves readability by allowing users to label dynamically generated task instances with meaningful identifiers. However, there is an issue with how this template value is rendered in the UI: The expression from map_index_template is not displayed while the mapped task is in the running state. During this phase, the UI continues to show the default numeric map_index value. The template value is correctly displayed once the task completes — both for success and failed states — but not while the task is still running. This behavior reduces the usability of map_index_template, since users cannot easily identify which mapped task instance is currently executing. ### What you think should happen instead? The value from map_index_template should be rendered and visible in the UI as soon as the mapped task instance is created, including while it is in the running state. ### How to reproduce - Define a mapped task with map_index_template set to a Jinja expression. - Trigger the DAG and monitor the mapped task instances in the Airflow UI. - Observe that while tasks are in the running state, the UI shows only numeric indices. - After tasks complete (success or failed), the template values are correctly rendered. ### Operating System Windows 11, docker ### Versions of Apache Airflow Providers _No response_ ### Deployment Official Apache Airflow Helm Chart ### Deployment details _No response_ ### Anything else? _No response_ ### Are you willing to submit PR? - [ ] Yes I am willing to submit a PR! ### Code of Conduct - [x] I agree to follow this project's [Code of Conduct](https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
