Hi  
Is there a way to update job id (or some other attribute which is not supported in \_update API) while keeping previous results/models for a long-running job? or a way to clone a job, but also including model/results?

Thank you

The short answer is no. Current cloning procedure only clones the configuration, not the model or results.
