I'm not so sure if I like the interface, it duplicates functionality in
two places.

At th very least I would make job creation without BLOCK_JOB_MANUAL an
error if the transaction requires it instead of silently overriding the
option that was given to the individual job. But honestly, it might be
better to just leave this one away.
