@vermaamit16  hello

I'm not very familiar with the syntax of this writing. How should I write it specifically? Thank you very much.

Try with below script :

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/ ) {

    var weekStartOn = new GlideDateTime(current.u_week_starts_on); // Please replace u_week_starts_on with your column Name
    var day = weekStartOn.getDayOfWeekLocalTime();
    if (day != '1') {
        gs.addErrorMessage('Today is not Monday'); // Change the message as per your requirement
    }


})(current, previous);
