out_attrs property in flow definition

[greg-wiltshire]

Feature Request

Description of Problem:

It is not possible to add key attributes or titles (or any attribute) to the outputs of a job. This makes understanding and presenting the outputs of a calculation difficult.

Potential Solutions:

• A out_attrs property added to the flow definition that allows attributes to be added to the data outputs from a job is needed.
• This is in addition to the job attributes already in the API that add these attributes to all outputs from a job.

Agree this is needed. I think the attrs applied to output nodes shoudl be called "nodeAttrs", so flow nodes can either have "nodeSearch" (for input and model nodes) or "nodeAttrs" (for output nodes). This might also be clearer when it's used with a job, because the job already has "outputAttrs" which are applied to all output nodes.
