@javier-aliaga - Commented. A few things

  1. Please put the code issue into the docs issue. I have added it in this case (Don't overwrite jobs using same name dapr#8402)

  2. Let's use this PR to update docs overview here https://docs.dapr.io/developing-applications/building-blocks/jobs/jobs-overview/

  • Under Features we really should say that the primary feature here is to create, get and delete jobs. This can be one paragraph, but in that paragraph you should mention that an existing job cannot be overwritten unless specific indicated. Write something and I will review this
  • The first sentence here is now wrong I presume https://docs.dapr.io/developing-applications/building-blocks/jobs/jobs-overview/ under "Schedule jobs across multiple replicas" - where is says "When you create a job, it replaces any existing job with the same name." Should now say "When you create a job, it does not replace an existing job with the same name, unless you explicitly set the 'overwrite' flag"
  1. Remove the "waiting on code" label once this code is merged.
