Description

Hi,

After many, many workflows runs have populated the WebUI's history pane, where some flows have failed, and some succeeded, it get kinda hard to tell the different runs apart.

It would be nice if it was possible to customize the number of columns visible in the view, and what data these columns should present.

That means that we e.g. could chose to show the unique workflow execution ID in the table, and e.g. in our specific use cases it would be nice to be able to show one of our input parameters to the workflow (which is, internally for us, a unique identifier for each flow, as it represents data coming from an external system).

Research direction

Start by locating the WebUI history pane and its current run table. Review how execution data and workflow input parameters are exposed, then define a column configuration that supports the execution ID and relevant input values; done means users can choose the visible columns and distinguish runs in the history view.
