Problem to solve

A large Premium, Self-Managed customer made the following report:

What is the pipeline job name in the above screenshot (actual customer example - GitLab Internal only)? The answer is build-vault-unit, but that is not found on the default view when you open the pipeline stage.

This behavior is the result of two things:

1. This pipeline has a lot of jobs per stage - enough that the small "Related Jobs" window at the bottom right can't show them all. Since they appear in order and this job is towards the bottom, we don't see the usual little arrow pointing out our current stage. e.g.

2. For whatever reason, that little arrow in the bottom right box is the only indicator of the job name that exists on the page (unless you scroll all the way to the top).

Proposal

My suggestion here would be to add the pipeline job name to the "metadata" information in the top right panel (in the area where 'duration', 'finished', 'queued', etc. are) so that it is always visible, regardless of where you are on the page.
