Would it be possible to add a new string field to the job table that specifies text field that identifies that this particular job is of a particular run/batch of said job? The use case here is around me checking for dependent items in queue.

• I cannot use Type as that is used to map to a function
• I cannot use Queue as that is used to run seperate workerPools
• I could use Args and run a Json query but not sure how efficient that is

if we had a field job_batch_id (tentative name) that could optionally be added to a job checking this would be very easy. I could basically as part of the wrapper I have to check if a job should run check if there are any active jobs with a given subQueue and if it is reschedule the job to run later.

Also then I could say that if a job Enques other jobs it can use the same subQueue as parent or atleast use that as a prefix.

I know this is pushing the boundaries of the project a little but it is just a single field added from the perspective of this project.

Btw do you have a patreon set up here? You are doing amazing work and should be rewarded.
