@francisdb @espiegel Just checked this issue and provided a workaround. We detect the issue and throw an exception, with the following message: “Failed to parse ‘* * -1 * * ?’. Invalid expression! Expression: -1 does not describe a range. Negative numbers are not allowed.” Thank you for reporting it.
