Set default for "Working Days Only" when selecting a date in a request form
There should be a way to prevent selection of a weekend as a due date when submitting a request form. Currently users can select any date they want for due date when a task is created through our request form. There should be an option to prevent this at the request form level.
Thank you for posting your suggestion here Ashley Crane! I'm passing it on to the Product team 👍
In the meantime, what I've seen others are doing in such a scenario is specifying this in the helper text section. For example "Please allow X amount of working days for processing your request" or "Please don't schedule the due date for Saturdays & Sundays" or similar.

Thanks Lisa. The dates are getting selected by accident, the requestor doesn't actually want a weekend due date but they are just hitting the wrong date when trying to select a friday or monday.
Thank you for clarifying Ashley Crane!

I have the opposite problem. I WANT weekend dates to be allowed. I prefer to have the default be 7 days a week. We are adding due dates to tasks that fall on the weekend and the are being automatically pushed to a Monday because we forget to uncheck the allow weekend box. Can I make it so the default is allow weekend due dates?

Adding to Ashley's comments. It's also very confusing to have the weekends at the end of the week on the request form, as opposed to the "normal" calendar week view displayed in the application. End-users should also NOT be able to select a date that has already passed.
