More robust scheduling options for workflows

Please look into expanding the scheduling options for automation workflows and parking workflows. I think this would be extremely beneficial. Right now, I have a use case where we have certain servers that stay off until they are needed, such as certificate authorities, disaster recovery environments, etc. They only get turned on once a month to maintain their patching status. To prevent someone from having to manually turn all of these on before our patching window, I wanted to set up Turbo to automate that start, since the rest of our server automation lives inside Turbo anyway. However, the parking actions only allow for repeating weekly schedules instead of being able to use the same scheduling mechanism in automation workflows. This doesn’t make any sense.

Additionally, all of our scheduled maintenance and patching happens based on Microsoft’s Patch Tuesday. Even though the current mechanism in place for automation workflows isn’t 100% foolproof when scheduling relative to the second Tuesday of the month, can this be an option? It would be extremely beneficial to be able to set this up and forget it, just letting the automation run without interference.
