Description
Description
Quantum currently allows configuration via Cron Notation. This works very well for statically recurring events, but doesn't work very well for dynamic ones.
If you for example want to run a dynamic job once every day for 7 days until it stops, that's very complicated to do.
Implementation
Generic way of configuring such jobs should be provided. Any Ideas how to do that?
PR
We'd be happy to receive a PR (after the implementation details are cleared). If this is a popular request please leave a 👍 so that we see that this is important to our users and implement it ourselves.

Research direction
The issue does not name any files, tests, or entry points. Start by clarifying the implementation details for generic dynamic job scheduling beyond cron notation, then trace the existing scheduling configuration and add tests for a job that runs daily for seven days. Done means the supported configuration is agreed and the dynamic schedule behavior is covered.
