Feature Summary

Today, job templates can be configured with instance groups prompt-on-launch. Therefore, jobs can be launched with the parameter on which instance group they'll be run. Please add a instance groups prompt-on-launch option at the workflow level. With such feature, all job templates configured in the workflow having instance groups prompt-on-launch enabled will inherit the instance groups setting configured for launching the workflow.

Sugested feature result

When launching a workflow job configured with instance groups prompt-on-launch with the parameter --instance-group XYZ, all job templates in the workflow which are configured with instance groups prompt-on-launch will run on the instance group XYZ.

Additional information

At this time, the workaround is to create multiple inventories (same config except the instance group), select inventory prompt-on-launch for the workflow / templates and launch the workflow job with the appropriate inventory.

Any plan on this one? Some settings have been implemented at the JT-level and unfortunately still not usable at the WT-level...

Hey @djyasin, It would be really helpful if we could set the instance group name on the workflow level. Currently, to achieve this, we need to use the inventory to set the instance groups, and it requires us to fetch the inventory ID first instead of directly using the inventory name(from API). This workaround makes the entire process quite complicated...

Thanks!
