Verified feature request does not already exist?

I have searched and found no existing issue -> I can see that in an old issue, there was mentioned this option to select the last day of the month (https://github.com/actualbudget/actual/issues/1062) and it's explicitly mentioned as a non-supported option in the documentation (https://actualbudget.org/docs/schedules#schedule-options-that-are-not-supported)

Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

I find the scheduling feature useful, but I’m missing the option to schedule transactions for the last day of the month. Right now, you can select specific dates, but this doesn’t work for every month.

I’m not sure if this would be useful for everyone, but I would find it very helpful to simply schedule transactions for the last day of the month and not have to think about them.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

Criteria

If you select Months, a checkbox labelled On the last day of each month will appear below, behaving similarly to the Add specific days button.
Checking this box will disable the Add specific days button, as both options cannot be used simultaneously.
The option selected in Move schedule should be respected. For example, if the last day of the month falls on a weekend (e.g., 31/05/2025, is a Saturday), the transaction should be scheduled:
- On 30/05/2025, if selected before the weekend
- On 02/06/2025, if selected after the weekend
When selected, the Upcoming dates should be calculated accordingly.

Benefits

Enables scheduling for the last day of the month while retaining the option to specify particular days.

This already exists, you can "add specific day" and set it to last :)

It also works with move before/after

Hello @matt-fidd, completly missed the Last option in selector of numbers. Thanks for pointing it out!
