Support for adding/adjusting dates by workdays

Our Deloitte Sense solution based on the ORM, have functionality to schedule performance of a control. The schedule will use offset days to add og substract days to the end of a control monitoring period. For example, for controls covering the month of September, some controls are due 4 days after and some 5 days after. The controls due 5 days after might be dependent on controls being done 4 days after. When due days occur in weekends it makes a mess and also makes it impossible for users to perform the controls in time. Right now we have "add_days" available for Calculations and the "Adjust Date by" for workflows. However there is no way to exclude weekends. We would like a funcitonality like "add_workdays" similar to Excels Workday function (without the optional holiday support): https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/workday-function-f764a5b7-05fc-4494-9486-60d494efbf33 We have clients running OpenPages who require this functionality already. I have attached an example - you are more than welcome to contact me if you need additional information.
