Description: The input field for setting the function schedule is of type email, which prevents entering a valid cron expression.

Error Message: Please include an '@' in the email address. '30 7 * * *' is missing an '@'.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Go to a function.
  2. Navigate to the Settings tab.
  3. Try to add a cron expression in the Schedule field (e.g., 30 7 * * *).
  4. An input validation error appears.

Expected Behavior: The field should accept valid cron expressions without requiring an '@' symbol.

Actual Behavior: An error is triggered because the input is incorrectly expecting an email format.

Temporary Workaround: Manually change the input type from email to text using the browser dev tools. 😅

TL;DR
Issue: Input field for setting function schedule incorrectly expects email format instead of valid cron expression. Solution: Manually change input type from email to text using browser dev tools.
