Add days to a date excluding specific days.

The businessAdd filter adds a specific number of days to a date, skipping non-business days, where non-business days mean Saturday and Sunday. This article provides the code snippet to add a given number of days to date while skipping the specified weekdays.

Instructions

1. Navigate to the intended workflow to make the necessary changes in the edit mode.

2. Select the required transition.

3. Select the Post functions tab and click Add post function.

4. Select the Set issue fields (JMWE app) post-function and click Add.

5. Select the target issue and target field in Target Issue(s) and Add Field(s) respectively, and add the following template as Value for the added field:

   {% set startDate = issue.fields.customfield_10057 %} {% set nod = issue.fields.customfield_10055 %} {%set endDate = startDate %} {% for n in range(0, nod) %} {%set endDate = endDate | date('add' , 1 , 'days') | date %} {% set day = endDate | date('e') %} {% if day == 5 %} {%set endDate = endDate | date('add' , 2 , 'days') | date %} {% elif day == 6 %} {%set endDate = endDate | date('add' , 1 , 'days') | date %} {% endif %} {% endfor %} {{endDate}}

Replace :

• 10057 with the id of the date field to which the number of days should be added.

• 10055 with the id of the field, which contains the value of the number of days to be added.

In the above template, we are considering Friday (line #7) and Saturday (line #9) as non-working days. Modify them as per your use case (refer to this page)

Open

Publish the workflow to see the changes reflected on the target issue.
