> Currently you can provide a job name to {{execute}} in the execution
> environment. In an environment where many version of a job may be executing,
> such as a development or test environment, identifying which running job is
> of a specific version via the UI can be difficult unless the version is
> embedded into the job name given the {{execute}}. But the job name is uses
> for other purposes, such as for namespacing metrics. Thus, it is not ideal
> to modify the job name, as that could require modifying metric dashboards and
> monitors each time versions change.
> I propose a new method be added to the execution environment,
> {{setDescription}}, that would allow a user to pass in an arbitrary
> description that would be displayed in the dashboard, allowing users to
> distinguish jobs.
