Hi,
I need to allow user to select date after 7 days but it should calculate only business days not weekend. In our project as per client we follow Friday, Saturday as weekend and I need to exclude Friday, Saturday. When user select date then it should calculate for Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday as business day.
Can you please help me with that.
Regards,
Nivedita

it worked see
Script Include:
var ValidationUtils = Class.create();
ValidationUtils.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {
validateDate: function() {
var selected_date = new GlideDateTime(this.getParameter('sysparm_expectedDate'));
var requiredDate = new GlideDateTime(); // Todays Date
var businessDays = 7;
var daysAdded = 0;
while (daysAdded < businessDays) {
requiredDate.addDays(1); // Move to the next day
var dayOfWeek = requiredDate.getDayOfWeek(); // 1 = Sunday, 2 = Monday, ..., 7 = Saturday
if (dayOfWeek != 6 && dayOfWeek != 7) { // Exclude Friday (6) and Saturday (7)
daysAdded++;
}
}
var output = {};
if (selected_date.getDate() > requiredDate.getDate()) {
output.correctDateSelected = 'Yes';
} else {
output.correctDateSelected = 'No';
output.requiredDate = requiredDate.getDate().toString();
}
return JSON.stringify(output);
},
type: 'ValidationUtils'
});
Client Script:
function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
if (isLoading || newValue == '') {
return;
}
g_form.hideFieldMsg('my_datetime');
var validateSelectedDate = new GlideAjax('global.ValidationUtils');
validateSelectedDate.addParam('sysparm_name', 'validateDate');
validateSelectedDate.addParam('sysparm_expectedDate', g_form.getValue('my_datetime')); //Replace your date time variable
validateSelectedDate.getXMLAnswer(function getExpectedDate(answer) {
var validatedOutput = JSON.parse(answer);
if (validatedOutput.correctDateSelected == 'No') {
g_form.showFieldMsg('my_datetime', 'kindly select date after ' + validatedOutput.requiredDate.toString(), 'error');
}
});
//Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
}
Output:

Hello @niveditakumari
Please try below code -
var startDate = new GlideDateTime("2024-03-22"); // Fixed start date
var businessDays = 7;
var daysAdded = 0;
while (daysAdded < businessDays) {
startDate.addDays(1); // Move to the next day
var dayOfWeek = startDate.getDayOfWeek(); // 1 = Sunday, 2 = Monday, ..., 7 = Saturday
if (dayOfWeek != 5 && dayOfWeek != 6) { // Exclude Friday (5) and Saturday (6)
daysAdded++;
}
}
// Print the final date in YYYY-MM-DD format
gs.info("Future Business Date: " + startDate.getValue());
I just tried it and its giving result

Hello @niveditakumari
. It can be done via any server side script only. So, business rule. When user selects the date, you can cross validate it with this script and give error message.
Kindly mark my answer as helpful and accept solution if it helped you in anyway. This will help me be recognized for the efforts and also move this questions from unsolved to solved bucket.
