问题
I am using Azure-DevOps Release pipelines to automate deployments.
I would like to schedule release creation to occur at a specific date and time.
But according to the screenshot below, only days of the week can be selected. And you can't specify the trigger as one time only.
This is a problem because the trigger will causes a release to occur every week on the specified days, and we will have to remember to turn the trigger off after every release, until we are ready to release again.
Is it possible with the current functionality in VSTS to set a specific date, and only release once?
Possible work-workaround?

I’ve found a really simple way to achieve one-off scheduled releases.
Just use the VSTS CLI tool, in the marketplace...

It’s published by MS and it’s super easy to kick off builds and releases from the command line.
Just use task scheduler.

You could add a Delay task to the Agentless Phase. Sadly you have to specify a number of minutes rather than a specific time, so there's a bit of mental arithmetic involved to work this out.
I nearly always "push the button" before I finish work, I just want it to wait a few hours until the remaining users have logged off the system, so having it fixed to 180 minutes is not an issue. You could use a variable if needed.

Edit your release and click on the "Schedule set" icon under the Artifacts. You can enable and "Add a new time" for repeated execution.
Otherwise, consider running a pre-deployment condition that triggers once on every build.
