      The printed strings from Workflow Steps should be more informative. Currently, most steps display very generic messages (with the exception of Loaded Script). This applies both to the Console Output as well as the Running Steps page.

      At minimum, all steps should support a 'label' parameter, which if set should display a custom string instead of the generic messages.

      It would also be useful if more steps displayed their arguments in their generic message like Load Script includes the filename.

          Does this issue also intent to cover the build page when it shows the outcome of prompting the user with the input step, i.e. "This was approved by user ..."? I have several approvals in a single build, and I can't tell which is which from the list as they all say the same.

          Would need JENKINS-31582 to capture step arguments.

          Since there are already labels coming from many steps, and JENKINS-26107 allows you to easily add more labels, I think the only thing really missing here is a way to look at step parameters.
