I have a use case to externalize the repeat interval from inject node to environment variable. One way to support this is to allow inputting cron-style interval string in inject node, and then input $(MY\_CRON\_INTERVAL) in the node's configuration.

I think this is useful for others as well and I can help to create a pull request for this.

This thread is over 6 years old and the request was never implemented so I will close this thread.
