Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I'm using headers to set a "context" for activities to run in, and I use interceptors to set/read these headers. But there is no way to provide headers when starting a workflow from the UI.

Describe the solution you'd like

A field on the start workflow form to set headers on the workflow start request.

Describe alternatives you've considered

A separate program for initiating workflows using an interceptor on the client for setting the headers.

Additional context

Could add "+ Add a Header" here:

Add a way to enter headers and verify that the submitted request includes them when starting a workflow. Check the existing UI flow and related tests, if present, before defining the completion check.
