Copy Services Manager Needs a 'run once' scheduling option

CSM v6.2.8 currently provides the following scheduling options:
1. Running a task at an interval of 0.5-144 hours
or
2. Running a task at a set time on any number of days each week
or
3. No Schedule

I wish to setup a task, pick a 4th option 'run once' and select a date and time. This task will then just run once on that date/time then become disabled.

The current work around is to create the task, select a new 'No Schedule' and save it. Then on the date/time you wish to run that task, log back in and manually select the task and pick the 'run task' option to execute the task commands.

    Missed that we have actually implemented a solution for this that I believe will work for you. CSM now allows you to set "No Schedule" on the task but when you go to run it you can select "Run at" which will then prompt for the time you want to run it in the future. This will schedule it to run only at the time you choose without putting it on a reocurring schedule.
