Create extended properties

Extended Properties allow organizations to store additional properties for job templates that can be updated using the Update Job Properties step to meet specific business needs. They can be used as inputs to other steps, such as the Run GP Service and Send Email steps, using ArcGIS Arcade expressions for the step's input parameters. Extended properties tables can't be shared across job templates, and each table in a workflow item must have a unique name. Complete the following steps to add an extended properties table:
