Description Peter Ondrejka 2023-06-12 11:56:39 UTC 
Description of problem:
Nothing in the UI hints that there are extended cronline expressions available for scheduling rex jobs. This way, the new capability could go unnoticed

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Satellite 6.14 

Suggestions:
1. The Cronline dropdown option option for setting recurrence could be reneamed to "Cronline (extended)" or something similar. 
2. The help pop-up for the cronline field could include some of the fugit expressions for awareness

6.14.0 would be nice or maybe 6.14.z as I wouldn't want to block the release on a purely cosmetic change. It is a just a change in wording which should be pretty straightforward to do, even if it needs to happen in multiple places.

Just a note, we can use these extended crons everywhere where recurring logics are used, which also means sync plans. Once we start adding hints about it to the ui, we should probably add it everywhere.

Also, it would be nice if we waited for docs for this to be written and then pointed to the docs
