Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

For chapters get new items method returns entities filtered by is_active status. However, it's not enough as sometimes repositories can still be empty.

Describe the solution you'd like

The snapshot processing job needs to utilize active_chapters manager instead of using custom filter. The same approach has to be applied for all kind of entities (projects, releases, etc)

Are you going to work on implementing this?

  • Yes
  • No
