Set default for "Working Days Only" when selecting a date in a request form

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.

Hello,

I would like the date I select as a start or due date in the form to be included in the task accordingly.

If this is not allowed, why is it available as an option in the date picker interface?

Thank you.

Hi João Batista! Those dates can be mapped to the task's start and due dates fields. Or do you mean something else?

Hello,

They are mapped to the "start date" and "due date", but if i pick a day in the weekend in the form, the date changes to monday...

Is there any option i missing to disable that?

Thanks

João Batista Can it be that the task is set to have a 2-day duration?

Lisa No, i added a blueprint to the form, and the blueprint had the "Working days only" enable in the date settings:

Its solved.

Thanks

Oh, that's good to know, thanks João Batista!

Adding to the initial suggestion: Request forms should only allow days that have been set in the space as "Working Days" to be logged as due dates. Users can choose days, like Thanksgiving, that I've set as non-working days, as well as weekends.
