Try this patch that adds this feature. If you can review/test and say all is well I will commit it. Note, there's an extra admin setting in "content types" to enable this feature. The default is "off" so that the way it works remains the same for all other users who may upgarde to this version. You'll need to make sure you switch it on to test/review.

This patch works for me, and is a very important feature that has been lost since scheduler in drupal 4. Hope to see it committed.

Thanks!

On a side note: would it be more drupalish and modular to make scheduler be able just to fire actions on time? Via the actions module? This way users would be able to do whatever they want, when the desired moment comes.

I did plan on integrating Workflow/Actions in but then someone released the Scheduled Actions module so I didn't bother wasting my time implementing some already done elsewhere.

Touching as a reminder to follow-up to my test with the patch.

The patch worked as advertised for me. This is a great addition.

Commited to HEAD, will appear in next release.
