Description

Hello,

I sometimes have to use unique queues (with a guid) to make sure that a job is only processed by a specific server only. Sometimes even by a server instance (meaning the guid is dynamically created at the time of enqueue). Additionally I use a priority as a prefix. This works great and much better than using filters.

A typical dashboard might look like this:

![Image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/c53b3397-d5be-45c5-bd69-60f5fbdfdf8b)

I would like to use a queue display name throughout the dashboard like

"Demo job queue (default priority)" instead of "p3_00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000002". Do you see any chance to achieve that with the current codebase?

Best regards

Research direction

The request concerns queue-name rendering throughout the Dashboard, but it names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating where queue identifiers are displayed and how queue metadata is currently obtained; done means a configurable display name can consistently replace the GUID-based name across the Dashboard without losing access to the underlying queue.
