Description

What are you really trying to do?

Update a schedule.

Describe the bug

The following command results in the removal of the existing cron configuration from the schedule:

temporal schedule update 
--env prod 
--schedule-id "Start Invoice Processing - Daily at 09:00 UTC (01:00 PST / 02:00 PDT)" 
--overlap-policy AllowAll 
--type start-invoice-processing 
--task-queue invoices-queue

Adding the --cron parameter resolves the issue and preserves the schedule configuration:
--cron "0 9 * * *"

Research direction

Start by reproducing the temporal schedule update command shown in the issue, then trace the schedule-update entry point in the Go CLI where an omitted --cron value is handled. Done means updating a schedule without --cron preserves its existing cron configuration, with a regression check for that behavior.
