Description

Describe the feature: Introduced by this change, the UI uses the security_app_display_name to list the jobs names, however, when cloning a job, this field is not shown in the UI.

The request is to have also this field in the UI along with Job ID and Description so that the user can edit it during the job cloning/creation process.

Describe a specific use case for the feature: When cloning new Jobs to another space and going to security rules and try to to select the new Job, the UI doesn't distinguish the newly created Job vs the original default Job. We see 2 ML jobs with the same name and description.

Workaround: Edit the JSON before saving the new job to change this field.

Research direction
Review the referenced change in issue #148873 to understand how the display name field was implemented. Locate the ML job creation/cloning UI component in the Kibana codebase, likely within the ML plugin's frontend. Add a new input field for the display name alongside the existing Job ID and Description fields, pre populating it with the stored value when cloning. Test the UI to ensure the display name is correctly saved and retrieved.
