Cannot create /2 advanced cron entries

[Claire Knight]

I'm trialling this plugin on the cloud, and if I create a very basic cron it works. However, if I write "0 0 11 20W */2 ?" it refuses to save and just spins and hangs the page.

According to the help from the (i) this should be fine!

If we can't make this work, then I'm going to have to look for an alternative solution for my company. If you need details of the cloud account I'm happy to provide but please ping me directly.

Probably should say I'm running this in Chrome on macOS - latest versions of both.

Hi Claire,

I have tested this and I can add (and edit) advanced trigger with your cron expression without any problem - I tried copy & pasting and typing it manually also switching trigger types.

Please try again and let us know exactly where do you click or if you are changing tabs etc. anything that could help us reproduce it and fix it.

Editing:

Please try to paste cron expression straight to the advanced cron tab

Cheers,

Łukasz

Hmm - clearly a Jira glitch. I tried about 10 times before I raised the bug. Today it works 😀

Thanks so much for getting back to me. I'll close the issue 👍

All working now. No idea why it was broken before - could easily have been anything inside Jira cloud!

Claire, you were right - there is a small tricky bug in there ;)

It is related to revalidation of the cron expression with trailing space and hitting submit before clicking away from the cron expression input.

This should be fixed with next release. Thank you for reporting this!
