I think it would be good to be able to run a rule on the last day of the month. I know it is possible to set it to run on the last Friday or any other weekday of the month but this is not what is needed here.
Is there any reason why we cannot schedule a rule to run on the last day of the month?

Thanks for posting this idea. Added this to backlog.
I just ran into this as well. My question though is how does the system handle if you select for the rule to run every month on the 31st? What will it do in months that do not have 31 days?
Edit:
I just tested this and it skips that month. I ran a historical rule that is setup to run on the 31st of every month. It ran for January 31 and March 31.

Hi Alex - I just came across your posting - not sure if you've solved this yet. But you can do this with advanced scheduling, using a cron expression such as:
0 0 6 L 3/3 ?
This runs a rule that runs at 6am, on the Last day of the 3rd month of each quarter.
0 0 6 L 3/3 ?
This runs a rule that runs at 6am, on the Last day of the 3rd month of each quarter.
Here is the cron expression to run the rule on last day of every month
Expression : 0 0 0 L * ? *
