Option to skip weekends when updating task dates via milestone date in projects

[LauraFerruggia]

Name of Feature/Request: Option to skip weekends when updating task dates via milestone date in projects

What financial, time savings, or quality of life improvements will occur with this: Significant time savings for our project managers

Attempted solutions so far: Currently, while task dates can update automatically when the milestone date is changed, there is no option to skip weekends. This means that our project managers have to spend a lot of time manually updating task dates in order to ensure no tasks fall on weekends, especially in large projects with many tasks.

Digging deep - Any additional Why behind this request / How was this accomplished before Striven: A simple checkbox option to skip weekends would make our project managers VERY happy since none of our team members have shifts on weekends!

I have the same request but mine is based around the ability to exclude dates falling on anything that is NOT a selected business day inside the company setting. This is for when you create tasks, projects, or milestones. The system should automatically fall on the next available business date. I had the idea of trying to include holidays in there too but i believe that would be a little more difficult for the development team.
