[Event Request] Table 472 "Job Queue Entry" procedure SetStatus

Why do you need this change?

Currently, there is no event available before the SetStatus procedure processes the incoming status value. The requested event will allow extension-based customizations to validate, modify, or handle status changes before standard Business Central logic executes, eliminating the need for Base Application modifications and ensuring upgrade-safe customizations.

Describe the request

Current Code
procedure SetStatus(NewStatus: Option)
begin
if NewStatus = Status then
exit;
RefreshLocked();
ClearServiceValues();
SetStatusValue(NewStatus);
end;

Requested Change
procedure SetStatus(NewStatus: Option)
begin
OnBeforeSetStatus(Rec, NewStatus);
if NewStatus = Status then
exit;
RefreshLocked();
ClearServiceValues();
SetStatusValue(NewStatus);
end;

Requested Event Publisher
[IntegrationEvent(false, false)]
local procedure OnBeforeSetStatus(var JobQueueEntry: Record "Job Queue Entry"; var NewStatus: Option)
begin
end;

Implementation:

Location in SetStatus() procedure:

procedure SetStatus(NewStatus: Option)
begin
    OnBeforeSetStatus(Rec, NewStatus);
    if NewStatus = Status then
        exit;
    RefreshLocked();
    ClearServiceValues();
    SetStatusValue(NewStatus);
end;

Event Publisher (add at the end of the codeunit with other events):

[IntegrationEvent(false, false)]
local procedure OnBeforeSetStatus(var JobQueueEntry: Record "Job Queue Entry"; var NewStatus: Option)

What are the scenario(s) you need this for? It allows you to change the status before we set it to the state it is suppose to go to, but why do you need it here and not use one of the later events etc?
