Resolving The Problem

Steps to replicate:

1. Go to the Cron Task Setup application

2. Open a Crontask record. eg. BBCron

3. In the Cron Task Instances, try to change the Schedule.

Set Every 1 year on October on day 02 at time 7:00 AM like in the screenshot below.

Then click 'Preview'.




It should run every year on October on day 02 at the 7:00 AM. But, some schedule are shown as 8:00 AM.
