Ehh guys. I'd like some specific resource to not reserve license resources since I know they wont need them. however the remaining agenda/work items will.
Is it possible to have specific resources reserved (or override the job reservations) on specific agenda items? or if not, is there a between/recommended way to get the behavior im looking for? Some context: currently i have the "fast process" running as a separate job, which triggers a callback on a dependent job (which will require extra resources that i want to reserve). i've been looking into folding this into all into one job and just setting up the dependencies between the work items.

We don't support reservations at the agenda level; it's one of the ideas we keep kicking around for Qube 7, but it's a substantial change.
For now, you should continue as you were with separate jobs and inter-job dependencies.

hmm, ok. word
Actually, I found I could get the behavior I was after with using some python as the callback trigger...
unblock_code = 'jobid = str(qb.jobid())\n\
args = ["%s:%i" % (jobid, work) for work in range({0},{1})]\n\
qb.workunblock(*args)'.format(start, end+1)
callbacks.append({'triggers':'done-work-self-convert', 'language': 'python', 'code':unblock_code})
but actually, speaking of unblocking the jobs I have another question along those lines.
Say I have a job that is submitted as blocked, onn the job itself but also on some of it's work agenda items.
If a user ten selects the job in WrangleView and unblocks the job, the work items also unblock. Is this an intentional/desired behavior? To me, it seems like it should just unblock the job, not the work items (which should be unblocked explicitly from the Frames/Work panel)
