[feature] Setting a task group name

[yas0nia]

Feature Area

/area backend

What feature would you like to see?

Able to set a custom name for a task group:
https://github.com/kubeflow/pipelines/blob/master/sdk/python/kfp/dsl/tasks_group.py#L78

What is the use case or pain point?

when using dsl.If and dsl.Else, they get grouped in a task group with an automatically generated name, which makes the pipeline less readable

Is there a workaround currently?

Custom "head" if component (instead of deprecated dsl.Condition) to mimic a task group, I guess

Love this idea? Give it a 👍.

You can customize the group name via the name parameter: https://kubeflow-pipelines.readthedocs.io/en/latest/source/dsl.html#kfp.dsl.Condition.__init__.name

@chensun thanks for the info! The group is created automatically in kfp 2.4, i don't create it myself in the code, that's why I can't assign a name to it. I don't have this UI issue in kfp 2.3.

Code snippet:

@dsl.pipeline(name="my-pipeline", description="My new pipeline")
def my_pipeline(
    input_params: Dict[Any, Any],
) -> None:
    
   first_step = first_component.set_display_name("First step")

    with dsl.If(condition based on my first step):
        #some logic here
    with dsl.Else(
            name="proceed with another component",
        ):
            #some logic here too

these if/else conditions are automatically grouped together in the UI in kfp 2.4. Not sure about 2.5, not happening in 2.3 tho. I like the grouping, but I don't like the automatically assigned name..
