On the Defaults tab, set this parameter:
Job History Retention—The number of days to keep the job history retention for each of the job instances in the job
activity. Every job instance that runs is assigned a date on which it is to be purged based off of it's job definition's
Options tab -> History Retention value. So if a job ran when that number was 100, it won't expire until 100 days from
now, even if the job's definition is edited, since the job instance information has already been written. Mass edits on
the backend would compromise the stability of the database, so to avoid that, edits to the job retention values in the
job definition do not affect job instances that have already run.
