Description of the bug

Trying to change the number of bots while a job is running produces inconsistent results. Sometimes it seems to work, and other times it does not.

When clicking on a job to view its detailed information, you can see the number of active bots, the proxy being used, and other related details. From there, if I request to add or remove bots (for example, increasing or decreasing the count by 10), there are cases where no visible effect occurs. The number of active bots remains unchanged in the job details view.

However, when returning to the main Jobs overview page, the bot count is updated there. There is also visual feedback indicating that the request has been received and will take effect shortly. Despite that, there is an inconsistency that makes it unclear whether the issue is purely visual or if the functionality itself is also affected.

It is worth noting that, in some cases, changing the number of bots appears to work correctly, with the updated count being reflected both in the detailed job view and in the general Jobs overview. However, I have only been able to reproduce this behavior occasionally, typically when making small adjustments (for example, changes of 5 bots or fewer).

On version 0.3.2, however, everything works correctly.

Reproduction steps

  1. Start the OpenBullet 2 web client
  2. Create a Multi Run Job, configure it as desired, and set an initial bot count
  3. Start the job
  4. Change the number of bots by a significant amount (e.g., increase or decrease it by around 10 or more)
  5. If the change appears to work, try adjusting the bot count again, or reducing it instead
  6. Note that there will be no change, at least visually, in the job's detailed view

What is the current bug behavior?

When a bot count change is requested, it is not always reflected in the detailed view of the job, making it unclear whether the issue is purely visual or if the request itself was not applied.

What is the expected correct behavior?

The requested bot count should be reflected in the job's detailed view, not only in the general Jobs overview.
