Description

Nomad has recently introduced parameterized jobs which may be dispatched with a set of variables to customise a job instance.

It would be a great feature to provide an intuitive UI over Nomad's parameterized job dispatch, perhaps presenting a list of parameterized jobs to select from (and add to or modify) and a form or file upload option to populate the required fields for launching the selected job.

Research direction
Explore Nomad's parameterized job specification and dispatch command API. Review hashi ui's existing job views for patterns (e.g., in components/Job*.js). Design a UI that lists parameterized jobs and a form to input variables. Consider file upload for payload. Look at similar UI patterns in other Nomad tools.
