Github actions dynamic workflow name

Question

I have a manually triggered job that builds and deploys an image based on the tag I specify. Is there a way to make the workflow name dynamic?

name: Build and push

on:
  workflow_dispatch:
    inputs:
      tag:
        description: 'Image Tag'
        required: true

jobs:
...

I would like to do something like

name: "Build and push ${{ github.event.inputs.tag }}"

Workflow names are not dynamic, but fixed.

To get at the actual data of a workflow run, you'll have to chose the specific run from the Actions > All Workflows > [name-of-your-workflow] list.

Alternatively, you can think about other ways to propagate the outcomes of your builds.

Our team, for example, propagates build outcomes to teams chat channel (in our case Microsoft Teams using the action notify-microsoft-teams). If you search the market place you'll find plenty of actions for this.
Another alternative could be to generated custom badges, which you could then make visible to your team. A nice action for this is bring-your-own-badge.
Last but not least you can propagate your workflow run data using emails (again, there are actions which do this for you).
