Sure. I don't mind posting that. I was able to graft something onto the script you posted above, just so it's easier to see where the modifications are.
The first thing to understand about using -showDelayOptions in jamfHelper is that it changes the output you get back in the shell. Normally, a regular jamfHelper window that doesn't use any drop down options will give you a 0 for the main button clicked and a 2 if the second button was clicked (if configured in the script) But when you add those drop down options, those change in 2 ways. First, the response for buttons clicked changes to 1 and 2 instead of 0 and 2 The second thing is, the value from the drop down in seconds gets smooshed together with the button clicked value into one string. So in the case of choosing 15 minutes, in Terminal you would get back 9002, meaning, 900 seconds for the value from the drop down and 2 for the button chosen. So you have to tease those values apart from each other to be able to do anything with it later.
Here's a modified script that will do something with those values.

showPrompt

Some explanation:
First, the script checks to see if there was a previously stored value in seconds of when the next valid time is for the prompt to show up. This gets calculated by taking the value from the drop down and, if the user clicks the Snooze button, adds that onto the current time in (Unix) seconds, then stores that in a plist on the system. The script will check for this first to see if enough time has passed to even show the prompt again. If it has, it calls a function that shows the jamfHelper window.
Then, in these lines:
ButtonClicked="${HELPER: -1}"
SnoozeVal="${HELPER%?}"
It takes the smooshed output from jamfHelper and splits them into one value for the button and one for the drop down menu.
It then checks to see which button was clicked. If Install was clicked it just goes ahead and calls that other policy by the custom event trigger. If Snooze was clicked it updates or creates the plist with the updated value. Again, this is unix time now + the delay value in seconds. So for example, if you choose 30 minutes, that's 1800 seconds added onto the current time. That all gets done in this function:
function setSnooze ()
{
## Get the time right now in Unix seconds
timeNow=$(date +"%s")
## Calculate the time for the next available display of the prompt (adds the time now and time chosen together in seconds)
timeNextRun=$((timeNow+SnoozeVal))
## Create or update a plist value containing the above next time to run value
/usr/bin/defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.acme.policy_001.snooze.plist DelayUntil -int $timeNextRun
exit 0
}
So in your policy what you would, in addition to adding any script parameters to customize the message, is make sure it's running on each check in. If your check-in is 5 minutes, it means anywhere from 5 to about 10 minutes, the script runs, checks the previously stored value in the plist, and does some math. If the time it's running exceeds or equals the last value stored, then it shows the prompt again. If not, it just exits.
In this way, you can approximate showing the prompt again in the time chosen by the user. I say approximate only because it's actually impossible to get Jamf Pro to run a policy at very specific time. The check-in always adds in a random delay of anywhere from 0 to 300 seconds by default. So it may be that more than 15 or 30 minutes (or whatever they chose) elapses before they see the prompt again. But never less using the above method.
Hope that helps. Feel free to change the /Library/Preferences/com.acme.policy_001.snooze.plist plist name in the script to something that makes sense to you. It shows up in 2 places in the script so be sure to update it in both.
