For a workflow, that we use with different inputs, we have multiple jobs, one of the jobs starts with:

rerun-2-failed-test:
   name: ${{inputs.test-description || ''}} parse and analyze test results
   needs: [test, test-result]

This job is sometimes skipped (as intended), however when we look into the summary page, we than see ${{inputs.test-description || ''}} in the name of the job.

When the job is not skipped, that part is replaced with the value of inputs.test-description.

Is there an option to make it an empty string if it is skipped, or even nicer would be to always get the value from inputs.test-description. The inputs.test-description is an input of the workflow, and is always known when the workflow is called. If it is not possible, is there another way to use a variable in a name of a job, even when skipped?

We call the workflow an x amount of times, so if they do not have something variable in the name, they are difficult to differentiate between.

for example:

some_test:
    name: some_test    
    uses: ./.github/workflows/above_workflow.yaml
    with:
      test-description: 'some_test'

some_other_test:
    name: some_other_test
    uses: ./.github/workflows/above_workflow.yaml
    with:
      test-description: 'some_other_test'
