Scans with custom nth day of month schedule fail at 0% when manually started

[MitchDrage]

Expected behavior

Tasks that are scheduled to run on the nth day of the month should be able to be manually started.

Actual behavior

Manually starting one of these tasks will have the scan stop at 0% in the web interface, while actually running in the background. Once the background scan has completed, GSA still reports this scan as 'Stopped at 0%'.

Steps to reproduce

1. Define a schedule using any of the nth day of each month:
2. Attach the schedule to a task and manually start a scan.
3. All other repeat schedules appear to work without error, and if the schedule is detached from the task, the scan operates without issue.

(Key note is that the scan is marked as failed, and then the scan commences in the background and is not visible in GSA)

1964 includes the following description which might have already improved this:

This addresses a problem with starting scheduled task manually.

Thank you @cfi-gb. That looks a lot like a fix for this issue, but I wouldn't be able to tell until it's released. Apologies for asking, but is there a version and/or date planned for this fix to move in to release?

[cfi-gb]

Unfortunately i'm not involved into anything around release management so i'm not able to answer this question.

[MitchDrage]

I can confirm that as of GVMD 22.5.0, this issue has been resolved. Fix came in https://github.com/greenbone/gvmd/pull/1964 as suggested.
