setting the Due date on problem_task.

[karunasrikuna]

I need to set due date in the problem task form based on 5 Business days from the created date.

If it's Saturday (6) or Sunday (7) I need to move the date to Monday. I mean I need to skip the weekends and count only the working days to set the due date.

@Ankur Bawiskar Could you please help me on this ?

Hi @karunasrikuna ,

go with a business rule with a below script : 

    var createdDate = new GlideDateTime(current.sys_created_on);
    var dueDate = new GlideDateTime();
    var businessDaysToAdd = 5; 
    while (businessDaysToAdd > 0) {
              dueDate.addDays(1);
          if (dueDate.getDayOfWeek() != 6 && dueDate.getDayOfWeek() != 0) {
            businessDaysToAdd--; 
        }
    }
    if (dueDate.getDayOfWeek() == 6) {
        dueDate.addDays(2); // Move to Monday
    } else if (dueDate.getDayOfWeek() == 0) {
        dueDate.addDays(1); // Move to Monday
    }
    current.due_date = dueDate;
    current.update();
