to submit only e.g. job 8, try: crab -submit 8, note the comma at the end, you need to basically pass a one-number range w/o using the "n" syntax.
will that be a good workaround ?
the fact that resubmit goes via a "full reset to create" is something likely there since a long long time and I would not touch that part unless it comes to life or death. May e.g. make forceResubmi not work which would be worst.

If a crab -resubmit fails (for whatever reason, eg no resource found, or anything else) the status is not set to the original one, but to "Created".
So, if one want to try an other resubmit (eg, changing the white/black list) the -resubmit will not work. Instead plain "submit" has to be used.
The problem is that -resubmit takes a range, so a specific set of jobs can be resubmitted, while submit does not accept a range, but just a number of jobs to be submitted, starting from the first available. So, it is not possible to "resubmit" a specific job in any way.
