Ability to cancel in-progress replication via GUI

Problem/Justification

Sometimes it’s desirable to cancel/abort a replication that is currently in progress. AFAIK, there is no way to do this in the GUI.

Additionally, it can be quite difficult to do it in the shell, requiring killing zetarepl middlewared processes, potentially multiple times.

Today this happened to me again. [when the original feature-request/bug was reported

Impact

The reason I wanted to cancel the replication was that the wizard mistakenly included many more datasets than selected when cloning a replication task (a separate issue), but the once off replication was automatically started and it was going to replicate many TBs of data, when it was desired to only replicate GBs.

User Story

Ideally, there would be a way to cancel/abort a running replication, perhaps an :x: in a suitable location.

Blue “Vote” box at top of thread. You have a limited number of votes (based on forum status) that you can retract at a later time, or will receive back when a feature is closed (due to won’t implement, or will implement) etc.

I am just sadly looking at replication task I want to abort but cant.
Well, I will try shell or something.

I guess my own feature request is very similar. Every task/job should have option to minimize and force cancel
We both want to cancel running task. This thread is only about replication while my thread is more general.
