Make Category ID changeable

[tigerduck42]

Summary

we are running cronicle in more environments (development(docker), staging, production). Jobs are stored in the project repository together with the project code. When it comes to the deployment of the cronicle jobs via the provided API, we run into the issue , that the category Id is different on every server (environment).

Is it possible to make the catergory ID editable?

Are you using a multi-server setup, or just a single server?

Single-server

There is no way to edit a category ID, but when first creating them, you can specify a custom ID by embedding it inside the category title using square brackets as a prefix like this:

[mycustomid] My Category Title

(This works for events too).

Perfect, thank you. That was the way I was looking for. :-)
