Scheduled Automation Rule with CRON expression is not being triggered

[sowjanya gondi]

I am trying a simple rule with CRON expression. To send an email at a certain time everyday as a result of JQL condition. The first check is to verify if the rule runs on that time specified in the CRON expression. This is failing. Rule is not being triggered. 

I am attaching the screenshot of the Rule. Can someone please take a look and let me know what I am missing?

so be sure to use UTC for your cron expression. so if you are in say EST and want to trigger at 2pm every weekday that would be 0 0 18 ? * MON-FRI

This seems like a design/product bug to have the basic time in your local timezone and UTC for cron. They should be the same.

I had the same issue where I was not expecting timezones to be different between basic and advanced.

You could use the feedback link or open a ticket with Atlassian support to provide feedback. It is likely that they already have an open suggestion on this. However, cron works with UTC so any solution, I believe, would have to convert local time into UTC behind the scenes.
