ArgoCD 2.8 should support creating jobs

[jsoref]

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Installing the latest version of argocd from this helm repo gives me a 2.8 (or newer?) without the ability to create jobs

Related helm chart

Describe the solution you'd like

Here's roughly the code I used to enable our instance to create jobs:

diff --git a/apps/charts/argocd/templates/argocd-create-job-role-binding.yaml b/apps/charts/argocd/templates/argocd-create-job-role-binding.yaml
new file mode 100644

You should be able to add the role bits into the existing CR.

Hi - I'm not sure if this relates to Argo CD. Version 2.8 is not released yet and Argo CD UI server do not create any kind of batch jobs in the cluster for it's proper functionality.

EDIT: After looking into upstream manifests for 2.8 it seems as UI customisation action and we will test this when released.

v2.8.0 is out... but no chart release just yet.
waiting patiently

The new chart supporting v2.8.0 is missing the updates needed for the Role/ClusterRole to support CronJob triggering.

Unable to execute resource action: jobs.batch is forbidden: User "system:serviceaccount:argocd:argocd-server" cannot create resource "jobs" in API group "batch" in the namespace ""
