Yeah this is SUPER annoying and one of the two remaining advantages Scheduled Jobs have over Flows.
You *COULD* build a triggerless flow, and then just use the API to launch the flow from a scheduled job, which you use for more nuanced scheduling.

Hi,

Not sure what your aim is here. Does the Flow have to be specifically after 180 days?

If your aim is to have it triggered every 6 months (1st jul and 1st feb) you could set it to run every month, and have a custom action that checks if it's time to run that month or not. This article will help in that scenario.

I've got this same issue, I have a flow I'd like to run yearly, I've been trying to see how using the repeat trigger of 365days would achieve this.  Can the repeat trigger be used to achieve this ?

It should work.

But be aware that running it on repeat on every 365 days will not take into account leap year (366 days).

So given enough time this will not happen on the same day yearly.

Again, as I stated earlier, you could have it run monthly, and in a custom script evaluate if it is the "correct" month of the year to actually do some work, all other months will not do anything.
