How to edit $ci_lifecycle_policy_workflow page in attestation tasks

When one creates an attestation task policy in CMDB Data Manager the options in the Schedule Frequency are not sufficiant and I would like to extend the number of options in the dropdown list to not only have Daily, Weekly, Monthly but other optioons as well (e.g.: quaterly, yearly).

 

How should one do that?

 

What I figured out is that 

There is an actual scheduled job that is created for each attestation task and the schedule there by default cannot be changed as the field is set to read only. It makes sense as it is controlled via the the attestation task policy page ( $ci_lifecycle_policy_workflow). If I change the scheduled job field to be editable on the scheduled job I can change the schedule but then it is not in alignment with the attestation task on $ci_lifecycle_policy_workflow. So it is clearly not an option.

 

I have not found any option to enhance the number of options in the data manager policy Schedule Frequency.

We just received the information that currently it is not possible to do, but the Product Owner from ServiceNow promised (without any timelines) that they will add more options. So down the road it will be mitigated but current option is a workaround which is fairly simple:

Just find the scheduled job created for the attestation task and change the options there (may require modification of dicitionary overrides as ceratin fields are set to read only)

OR

Trigger the attestation logic from a different schedule and not from the automatically created scheduled job.
