Hi Everyone,
So i tried replicating this use case on our environment - https://extensionkit.unitfly.com/documentation/extended-auto-properties-use-cases/
But what I noticed is that DATEDIFF is missing either first or last day, like the calculation of days starts from 0, not 1.
Meaning that the person requesting Vacation, should be using 5 days, which is the case here. I tried adding +1 day in Property Value Field but does not seem to work.
I'm curious if this is something that can be fixed or changed? Thanks!

Hi @karloadanic
A slightly better solution is this one:
<<DATEDIFF('<<DATEADD('%PROPERTY_{PD.EndDate}%','1','DAYS')>>','%PROPERTY_{PD.StartDate}%','DAYS')>>
However, it will still calculate the wrong value if the start date falls on a weekend or holiday. But it will work correctly if only the end date is a weekend or holiday.
To address this case, we will add a new feature in one of the upcoming releases.

i fixed this by adding +1 with this statement: <<SUM('<<DATEDIFF('%PROPERTY_{PD.StartDate}%','%PROPERTY_{PD.EndDate}%','DAYS')>>','1')>> but it would be good to add a feature which checks this. This plus one then calculates 6 days if user selected from Sunday to Sunday value, taking this +1 into consideration.
