Thanks for this suggestion and for the many comments and upvotes. I realize that this is a pain point.
I have a few shorter-term workarounds to summarize as well as some information on the longer roadmap in this update. I know these shorter-term workarounds aren’t perfect (I summarize the pros and cons), but I’m posting them as they may help a few folks.
Workaround 1) When data changes to static data need to be made, use a “relink the table” pattern
One can “cleanly rescript” a static data table in SQL Source Control by:- Unlinking the static data table
- Committing
- Relinking the static data table
- Committing
Pro: This works with the GUI and requires no special knowledge or comfort with TSQL. This may help folks with just a few static data tables.
Con: This requires extra steps and results in extra commits in the history, which I realize can…John Q Martin

Thank you everyone for your comments and votes on this over the years. While I don’t have a 100% full resolution for this suggestion, I can sum up our current recommendations here. Continued feedback is very welcome.
Our current recommendation is to use the post-deployment script feature of SQL Source Control (released in V6.3) to manage SQL Server Agent jobs.
An example script for this is here: https://documentation.red-gate.com/soc/common-tasks/working-with-pre-post-deployment-scripts/create-sql-server-agent-job
As some commenters in this thread have alluded to, it is possible (and sometimes very common) for SQL Agent jobs to have steps that touch multiple databases on a single SQL Server Instance. For this reason, some customers prefer to create a separate database for instance-level management and objects (sometimes named DBA or similar) and choose to manage things like linked servers and SQL Agent jobs with the post-script associated with that database.
This separate-database architecture also makes sense if the jobs…

While SQL Source Control does not currently provide a simple way to right click and ‘Undo’ static data changes on the ‘Commit’ screen as suggested, there is a workaround which may help some users.
If you wish to revert the static data in the table to a previous version which you have committed, you can do this by viewing the history of commits for the object in SQL Source Control, and then launching SQL Data Compare to update the database.
Please note that this workaround requires a license for Data Compare. More detail on how to do this are here: https://documentation.red-gate.com/soc/common-tasks/update-to-a-revision-from-source-control

We just hit this issue today and it is rather confusing that you cannot undo a data change.

This would be really useful if it was able to be put together.
I have tried using the find invalid objects in SSMS and it either times out does not return results for some reason.

It would also be nice to have the option to exclude the CDC components from the database schema as it is more of a configuration option that could vary by environment.
