So here is another MS Fabric frustration that I'd like to share with the community:
In schedules for notebooks or pipelines I really miss the possibility to actually use a CRON schedule. This is something I miss and not necessarily the origin of my frustration.
My frustration is that today I was experimenting with the Fabric CLI and when through a moment of relief: I noticed that it is possible to set a CRON type schedule (https://microsoft.github.io/fabric-cli/examples/job_examples/#create-cron-based-schedule)
However, this frustration was short lived since the functionality of this Microsoft CRON type schedule is not the same as the CRON type schedules I am used to (https://crontab.guru/)
I would like to create a schedule that runs on weekdays between 6AM and 7PM, every 15 minutes. This would result in a crontab like this: */15 6-19 * * 1-5. I still did not find a way to create this type of schedule in MS Fabric due to the constraints on scheduling.
If I am wrong, please enlighten me.
If I am not wrong, here is a kind request for the MS employees to just implement this type of crontab syntax.
Kind regards,
A tensed MS Fabric Developer.
