[Feature Request]: "Play once" for delayed jobs

[rtroncoso]

Wanted to know if it's possible to add a "Play once" (name suggestions open) button for delayed jobs, similar to the "Promote" (#136) feature, but with the difference that it should not interfere with the already delayed job (i.e. a cron execution at a certain time).

Right now when you try to promote a delayed job with a repeat.cron set in options the job will execute inmediately, but a new job is added with the same delay as before. Therefore, if I have a job that runs every week at a given time and promote it, the execution of the next job will be one week after the original execution time.

An interesting idea, I think that it is possible, by cloning the given job, and adding it without any delay options.

I will review a possible implementation, the scary thing is to mess with user's options.

Maybe, it's time to implement a "Add new job" from the UI (a requested feature), which will allow to use other job data.
This will solve your issue, and won't make the code change user's data.

WDYT?

@felixmosh yup, definitely think that would be great and could fit all use cases, also leaving room for more advanced ones (maybe override job data, custom delay, etc)!

@felixmosh Very good feature. Hitting the promote button ruins next scheduled run of the job. Have to wait next interval. Plz, consider implement this enhancement.

Now that v5.18.0 added Add job feature, this feature can be implemented easly by implementing "duplicate" job, which opens a Add Job modal with predefined fields, you can modify it as you wish, and run it.
