GitHub Actions dynamic workflow name

I have a manually triggered job that builds and deploys an image based on the tag I specify. Is there a way to make the workflow name dynamic?

name: Build and push

on:
  workflow_dispatch:
    inputs:
      tag:
        description: 'Image Tag'
        required: true

jobs:
...

I would like to do something like

name: "Build and push ${{ github.event.inputs.tag }}"
Solution
