SIL Script to take into account business days

[Karoly Guerrero]

I am trying to set the due date of a sub-task based on the starting date of the parent-task plus the days assigned for the sub-task. I have to take into account weekends. Example of my code:

// this one does not take into account the weekends, but works fine

date startdate = %key%.customfield_15303;
string issueSummary1 = "Request for contract"
string issue1 = createIssue("X", key, "Unteraufgabe", issueSummary1, "", "", {}, startdate+"5d", "", "", "");

I tried to make a function to take into account just working days, which goes like this:

function businessDays(date startDate, number addedDays){

  while (addedDays > workingdays){
    string nd = (string)workingdays + "d";
    date eachDay = startDate + nd;
    string dayofweek = dayOfWeek(eachDay);

    if(dayofweek == "Mon" || dayofweek == "Tue" || dayofweek == "Wed" || dayofweek == "Thu" || dayofweek == "Fri"){
      workingdays = workingdays + 1;
    }
  }
nd = (string)workingdays + "d";
date dueDate = startDate + nd;
return(dueDate);
}

string issueSummary1 = "Request for contract"
date assign_dd = businessDays(startdate, 5);
string issue7 = createIssue("X", key, "Unteraufgabe", issueSummary1, "", "", {}, assign_dd, "", "", "");

 But it is not working, are there any other ways to achieve this?
