Hi there!

Hi @hartamas ,
To get the desired behavior, you need to tell the scheduler to ignore one of those fields by using a wildcard character (*). Here’s how to set it up based on your goal:

1. To Run a Workflow ONLY on a Specific Date (November 19th):

If you want the workflow to run only on November 19th at 10:00 AM, regardless of what day of the week it is, you should use a wildcard for the “Day of Week” field.

  • Correct Expression: 00 00 10 19 11 *

2. To Run a Workflow ONLY on Wednesdays in November:

If your goal is to have the workflow run every Wednesday in November at 10:00 AM, you should use a wildcard for the “Day of Month” field.

  • Correct Expression: 00 00 10 * 11 3

By making this change, your workflow will trigger at the exact time you intend.
