Calculating Due Date Based on Requested Date

[ljschwaberow]

I've been reviewing the Using DurationCalculator To Calculate a Due Date - ServiceNow Wiki wiki article to figure out how to set the default for a Catalog variable 'Due Date' to three business days from the 'Requested Date' = javascript:gs.now(). I think I need to create a schedule to incorporate in the scripting that is provided in the wiki article but I'm not sure how to design one that defaults to three weekdays from now. I'm still not too comfortable with scripting to but I think that is what I need, does anyone have any advice?

Thanks again for your help - in looking at it a little closer I noticed that the date is working perfectly but the time is calculating 6 hours from the current time - so it's doing it 3 business days and 6 hours from now. Is there a way to get it to do 3 business days but the same time?

Here is the schedule I set up:

(a year and a half later) You will need to account for the user's timezone.
dueDateGdt.getLocalDate();

dueDateGdt.getLocalTime();

I noticed, using child schedules for holidays do not work, so add the holidays directly to Schedule Entries as below:

   var sl = new someScriptInclude_util();

current.due_date=sl.ReturnDueDate(2,  current.start_date.toString());

This function will use above schedule, skip holidays, weekends, and calculate your due date.
