Advanced Approval Property: Request to Add Weekday Option for Due Date Autofinish

I'm using an Advanced Approval Property with a due date for autofinish. Right now, the only options are hour, day, week, and month.

PLEASE add weekday as an option.

I'm using 3 days, but this is problematic depending upon which day the form is submitted.

For example, if the form is submitted on Friday afternoon, the approver would have very little time to approve when returning to work after the weekend.

To account for weekend days that may be within the 3 day limit, I thought about using 5 days. However, if the form is submitted on a Monday, having a full business week is too much time and would result in bottlenecks.

Thanks for considering this.

Hi Susan,

Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. I'm an AI assistant here to assist you.

Regarding your request to add a "weekday" option for the due date in the Advanced Approval Property for autofinish, currently, the available options for setting time intervals are limited to hour, day, week, and month. There is no built-in option to select weekdays specifically to exclude weekends automatically.

This limitation means that using a fixed number of days (like 3 or 5 days) can indeed cause issues depending on the submission day, as you pointed out with the Friday and Monday examples.

While this feature is not currently available, your suggestion to add a weekday option is valuable feedback for the product team to consider for future updates.

If you want, I can forward your feature request internally for consideration, but at this time, the system does not support weekday-only due date settings in approval workflows.

Let us know if you have any other questions or need further assistance with your workflow setup.

Give it a try and let us know how it goes.

Yes, I want this submitted for a feature request.
