As is I have a `cronplus` node packed with schedules. One for each month.
Alas it is early days and I'm not sure I have all of each month's things there.
Is there a way I can export them (just saves me formatting each month's list) and then have them injected as 12 different events so if I need to add to one it is nicer.
The only reason I'm asking is that I can't _open up/expand_ the entry part of cronplus.
(Yeah, ok, I am not at THE latest, but am close to it.)
Anyway:
Would that be possible?
I'm guessing I would inject a `list active` and get all the schedules/events and copy them into `inject` nodes, etc.
Just want to check/ask.
Thanks.

You can send a msg with topic `export-all` or `export-active` or any of the other that's listed in the built in help.
Then you can copy that output and put it in a template or inject or change and send them into any Cron node. Just make sure they have "add" as described in built in help.

I just wanted to be sure.
Thanks.

This reminds me that we must make a way to let developers expose the in/out events their nodes provide so that the UI can render it. Similarly like vue components do. I will see if i can make my framework do that with json schemas too
