Originally assigned to: @sadnub on GitHub.

The default time options for doing scheduled patches is only "Daily/weekly" OR monthly, but on a specific numbered day of the month. This is a bit frustrating because sometimes I want to update machines on the last Saturday of every month, gives a window for issues with Windows updates to be sorted out before machines are patched.

If an option could be added to add a picker that lets you do first/second/third/fourth/last with a specific weekday choice. That way no matter how the days fall you know exactly when you're machines are going to get patched in a given month.

Workaround for now: Every 1st of the month just change the date to whatever is the day you want till we have enhanced scheduler in updates area

As an idea, why not support cron schedule expressions? That would allow it a lot more flexibility

That's a linux-only feature, and probably should be in its own issue for tracking...because I'm sure it'll be added at some point :)
