I tried looking on the OfBiz website, but the docs seem a bit sparse

In the "Marketing Manager Application" what are the "Data Source"
records used for? An example would be I see a DataSource
dataSourceId="GENERAL_MAILING", but how is that used in the wider system.

How could I change the system so when I modify an existing "Contact List
Comm Event
</marketing/control/EditContactListCommEvent? contactListId=9000&DONE_PAGE=FindContactListCommEvents? contactListId=9000>"
I am able switch the status back to in-progress. I want to do this
because I want to resend the same email again, but if it is not in the
in-progress status the automated email service does not find the record.
For my testing I have just been creating new test emails.

Where else (besides looking at the code) might I find info on this
particular application?

I'm afraid the documentation is older than that particular functionality, and could use some updating.

It may be that the current UI was designed to only send a certain message once. Part of that is probably related to keeping track of information about the sent message, though that isn't such a big deal now that a full CommunicationEvent record is being kept instead of just the association record to the ContactList that used to be used on its own.

In other words, the constraint that was driving this limitation may now be gone and it is probably an easy change to support that. I apologize for the lack of additional details as I haven't actually played with what kind of change would be required to do this.
