Bug report: Codex app Automations - selecting “Custom” in Schedule/Arrange cannot be saved and used.

I found a reproducible issue in Codex app Automations.

Environment:

- Codex app version: 26.306.996.0
- OS: Windows 11 Pro 25H2 (Build 26200.7840)
- Plan: ChatGPT Plus

Repro steps:

1. Open Codex app
2. Go to Automations
3. Create or edit an automation
4. In the Schedule/Arrange field, select “Custom”
5. Enter the custom schedule
6. Click Save

Expected:  
The automation should save and be used successfully.

Actual:  
The configuration cannot be saved and nothing happens.

Sorry for the late response.

Try updating Codex to the latest version, fully quit and reopen the app, then try creating a new automation with a simple custom schedule.

If you're still facing the issue, as [**EricGT**](https://community.openai.com/u/ericgt) mentioned, the [Codex in GitHub](https://github.com/openai/codex/issues) is the best place to look for related updates or issues.
