Capturing the discussion from slack:
Team, following up on our CS-Product feedback meeting last week I wanted to follow up on this patch from one of my customers about adding extra information about jobs to pipelines. (we discussed this during the call) The outcome is this: Jobs have an icon with very short description of a job (one sentence) Clicking on the icon takes you to a detailed documentation page (Confluence in their case) with extended information about what this job does, how it can configured, etc., etc. They currently do this by having a repo with YAML definitions that match job name to its details. What they would love to see: this description field and link to live in the job definition itself. Sounds like a cool concept, so I wonder if it would make sense for use to built this into the product.
