Just a suggestion instead of Backup Force Create and Snapshot Force Create in the task, can we have a check box for Force create when user selects Backup or Snapshot?

@smallteeths Can we help with this? Probably need a tip for the checkbox. @mantissahz Could you help follow up with @smallteeths ? Thanks.

Sure, I'll make the modification. When the user selects "backup" and checks the "Force create" option, the type of recurring job will be "Force create backup". The same logic applies to snapshots as well.
