Thank you for the feature request! This is a great idea that would be very useful for long-running tasks.

Currently, Temporal doesn't expose the StartedIdentity for pending activities. A possible workaround would be to use a custom activity that logs the worker identity at the beginning of its execution.

We are always looking for ways to improve Temporal and your feedback is valuable. We'll consider this feature request for future releases.

Thank you for your feature request!

This is a great suggestion. Currently, Temporal does not expose this level of information directly.

For long-running tasks, it's helpful to know which worker is handling the current task. This can be achieved by:

• Logging: You can customize the logging of your workflow and worker to include the worker's identity information. This would require you to manually add logging statements to your code.
• Custom metadata: You could implement your own custom metadata system within your workflows. You can attach metadata to the task or the workflow itself to store the worker's information.

We appreciate your feedback and will consider adding this feature in future releases.
