Description

When non-default identifier is used to install crontab (snippet), to clear it, you must enter exactly the same identifier again in order to clear, update, etc the crontab.

I thought it would be nice having such description written in config/schedule.rb .

Question
  • If I were to make such enhancement and make PR, would it be sensible?

Start by reading config/schedule.rb and tracing how the non-default identifier is supplied when installing the crontab. Clarify the desired configuration shape and how it should affect clearing and updating before defining acceptance criteria; the issue does not name tests or a specific implementation path.
