Motivation¶

Users come to expect the dependency tab on any job that is part of a cluster. As of now we only render the dependency graph for the "latest" jobs in a cluster. On a clonee job the dependency tab is not shown anymore if a cloned job exists potentially confusing users.

Steps to reproduce¶

1. Select any latest multi-machine job => you can see "Dependencies" tab
2. Restart the job
3. Refresh the page with the old job ==> "Dependencies" tab will disappear

this is happening to avoid displaying potentially huge complex dependency graphs covering multiple dimensions.

Expected result¶

A dependency tab should be displayed on all jobs that are or were at any time part of a cluster while avoiding to display overly complicated dependency graphs

Suggestions¶

Two solutions came up during discussion of this problem among asmorodskyi, mkittler, okurz:

1. Display static link to dependency graph of latest job
2. Add checkbox "Display current Scheduled Product only" which would allow to see what was actually cloned for this certain cluster
