CIFS feed JSON format for schedule field (Daily Hours) — documentation only shows XML example

Hi everyone,

I’m a Waze for Cities partner submitting road closures via a JSON CIFS feed. Everything works correctly — incidents are validated at 100% in Partner Hub — but the Daily Hours field always shows as N/A, even when I include the schedule element.

The official CIFS specification at Waze  |  Google for Developers only provides an XML example for schedule:

<schedule>
  <monday>09:00-18:00</monday>
  <tuesday>09:00-18:00</tuesday>
  <friday>09:00-18:00</friday>
</schedule>

I have tried two different JSON representations, neither of which populates Daily Hours in Partner Hub:

Attempt 1 — array format:

"schedule": {
  "daily": [
    {
      "dayOfWeek": ["MO", "TU", "WE", "TH", "FR"],
      "startTime": "09:00",
      "endTime": "18:00"
    }
  ]
}

Attempt 2 — flat object with full day names (my best guess at the XML equivalent):

"schedule": {
  "monday": "09:00-18:00",
  "tuesday": "09:00-18:00",
  "wednesday": "09:00-18:00",
  "thursday": "09:00-18:00",
  "friday": "09:00-18:00"
}

In both cases the feed validates without errors, but Daily Hours remains N/A in Partner Hub event details.

My questions:

  1. What is the correct JSON format for the schedule field?
  2. Is schedule actually supported in JSON feeds, or only in XML feeds?

Thanks in advance.
