Difficulty with Cron expression, getting multiple errors.

[Colleen]

I am trying to create a cron expression that says, run the automation every weekday at 9:30am. I have tried the following based on examples I found on the web....

30 9 * * 1-5

And

30 9 ? * MON-FRI

I see "Unexpected end of expression" when I run the former and "Invalid month name: 'MON'" when I use the latter.  I was getting error "The rule has been configured with components that require issues to be provided by the trigger." but I stopped seeing this error when I specified the issues in a JQL filter. I verified the filter is acceptable so that's not the issue. Any advice on what's wrong here?

Hi,

I am using   0 0 4 ? * MON-FRI to successfully trigger a rule every weekday at 4 am.

Looking at your second option, I think you are missing the leading 0 for seconds:

0 30 9 ? * MON-FRI

Yes that worked, thanks!
