Can I change the schedule for a job trigger via EnqueueAsync

[michael-wolfenden]

I am building an email campaign system where a user can schedule a campaign for a future date.

Is there a way to allow then to change this date after it's been ensued but before it's fired?

There's no reschedule functionality today, but it's been on my backlog. I can bump the prioritization since there's interest and start some work on this soon though.

In the meantime, these are your 2 main options:
1. Cancel + re-enqueue. Store the job id on your campaign. On a date change, call BackWaveOperator.CancelJobAsync(jobId, actor). If it returns CancelledImmediately, enqueue a new job at the new time and save the new id. CancellationRequested or NotCancellable means it's already sending or sent.
2. Database as source of truth. In the handler, load the campaign and return early unless campaign.SendJobId == context.JobId. To reschedule, update the campaign and enqueue the new job in the same transaction.

I'd recommend 2 and will likely land on something similar for the first class implementation.
