Description

@jusiskin

Describe the problem

Originally reported in aws-deadline/deadline-cloud#664

Job parameter names have a maximum length of 64 characters. This is restrictive since:

  • the parameter name needs to be longer to be sufficiently descriptive
  • the workflow generates parameter names dynamically by introspecting the workload

Proposed Solution

Extend the limit to 128 or 256 characters.

Example Use Cases

A VFX pipeline may require dynamic OpenJD job template creation. A job parameter that references an element in the scene that can be parameterized through the template may end up with a parameter name that with the following naming convention:

<PROJECT>_<SCENE>_<SHOT>_<REVISION>_<DESCRIPTION>
