PR Description:

Description:
This Script Include calculates a future due date by adding a specified number of business days to a given start date, based on a defined schedule.
This can be used anywhere within the server side scripts like fix scripts, background scripts, UI Action (server script).

How it works

  1. Script receives 2 inputs, Date and No of days need to be added.
  2. By default 1 day will be added at the start of the script execution.
  3. While loop executes until the No of days is less than 0.
  4. If the date is within schedule, then no od days will be decremented by 1. Else While Loop continues.

Hello @sivamuruganandam-coder

Hi @ravichandra1998g
Yeah sure..

If the date doesn't falls within the schedule, then the 'Continue' statement inside else will be executed. So, it'll again go to While Loop condition, then we'll be adding one more day to the existing date..

Hey @sivamuruganandam-coder
Yes..
But what if the date never matches (with the addition of days), wouldn't that make the script run in a loop?

Can you please modify the script to prevent that...
