Description

Hello,
I was unable to found the repository of Cron package, so I'm reporting it here.
I was unable to use "wed" to specify Wednesday as "Day of the Week", I had to use it integer denomination (3). But the tip into the fields states that names are supported: The day(s) of the week on which the command will be executed. (0-7, 7=Sun or use names, ranges, or divided, *=all)
It's also stated on FreeBSD documentation it's UNIX cron format as names are supported: https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?crontab%285%29

I see, but I do believe the text tooltip should be updated to reflect this change.

this seems accurate, names should not be in the tool tip for acceptable entries, I was not able to find anything other than integers (incl. range) and * that will be accepted in that field when creating or modifying a cron entry
