Refactor SyncDataSourceJob to change the DataSource status to "queued" when enqueued #18399
Description
NetBox version
v4.2.1
Feature type
Change to existing functionality
Triage priority
I volunteer to perform this work (if approved)
Proposed functionality
The snippet of code below, used to enqueue DataSource syncing, is duplicated in the following files: netbox/core/api/views.py and netbox/core/views.py
# Enqueue the sync job & update the DataSource's status
job = SyncDataSourceJob.enqueue(instance=datasource, user=request.user)
datasource.status = DataSourceStatusChoices.QUEUED
DataSource.objects.filter(pk=datasource.pk).update(status=datasource.status)I propose moving the status update code to a new enqueue method on SyncDataSourceJob.
Use case
It removes duplicated code, and the logic can be reused easily for new functionalities (e.g., #18287) or to trigger DataSource syncing from plugins.
Database changes
None.
External dependencies
None.
