A New Feature for Wrike Request Forms: Constraints for Date Questions 🗓️

Will this date constraint include weekends?  So if someone puts a request in on 1st of the month and you ask for a 5 day date constraint will that include a weekend?

You guys are awesome! Thank you so much!! 

Thank you!!!!!

Very excited about this feature. Thank you for this!

Excellent news! Thanks Lisa!

I love this!

I am interested to hear the answer to Julia's question about the weekends though. Maybe an enhancement would be to have the option to include or exclude weekends, so that different organizations with different day/shift schedules can make this work for them.

This is great! In addition to Julia's question about excluding weekends, would we also be able to exclude holidays that are set in the work schedultes as well? 

I'm very giddy for this update. But I will echo here that having the dates match system work schedules would be ideal since our blueprints are designated to working days only - would help to know how far out the date constraint should stretch.

Thank you so much for implementing this - I'm thrilled and will be testing it out later today! 

Sounds great, but I have to also chip in. Based on which working hours/days is this? It would be very important for us as depending on the location we have different schedules!

Hi everyone! 🙂

Thanks a lot for your positive feedback, we're very happy to bring this update to you 🤩

Date constraints work independently from work schedules because request creators, assignees, and submitters may all have different work schedules. For that reason, it's not possible to exclude weekends.

Nice feature but included weekends is a massiv downside. I would appriciate if one can select whether weekends shall be included or not... Same topic in automation rules...

This is a huge update that I've been waiting for since we invested in Wrike years ago. We still need the option to exclude specific days (weekends and holidays). It seems feasible to base it off the default schedule in account management - if there are people on teams who work weekends or alternative schedules, then you likely wouldn't utilize that function or would have some other process to manage that. It would be a HUGE improvement to exclude the blocked dates in the account's default schedule. 

Excited to play around with this! Would love to have conditions that can be added e.g., If this priority is selected, allow any date to be selected but if that priority is selected, only allow a date 2 weeks later to be selected.

Talia Neal I’ve been considering how to incorporate this feature. My conclusion is that for the (single select) determining question (similar to your example of ‘priority’), I would utilize the ‘follow-up question’ feature for each option, applying a predetermined time constraint to each individual follow-up due date question.

Thanks a lot for all your feedback here, our team is very eager to hear it!

Thanks for implementing this feature it's so helpful! 
We have clients still clicking weekend dates when submitting request forms; even though we don't work weekends. Having an exclude weekends option would be incredibly beneficial : D 

Just to echo others here, it's imperative that we're able to exclude non-working days (this isn't always Sat/Sun, depending on the geography of the project). It would be ideal to have a schedule we're able to set at a Project (or at the very least, Space) level. 

a 5-day SLA looks very different if someone requests something on a Friday vs a Monday, so I'd love to see the ability to have this!

Thanks folks, I've sent your feedback to the team as always!

Hi Lisa! Bumping this thread to add - even if accounting for weekends or the account holiday schedule do not end up being a possibility, I would love the opportunity to choose default behavior from the request form. For example, if a weekend is selected now with a restriction in place, it will use the first available due date. For example: 

With a 3-day restriction in place: 
If submitted on Wednesday, 10/2 for a due dat of Saturday, 10/5 - my request defaults to the earliest available due date. If we won't be able to block weekends and account holidays from being selectable, I'd love instead to see an option that allows forcing the due date to shift to the next available date instead. In this example with the proposed feature, the due date would shift to Monday, 10/7. 

Is that at all possible?
