This should get you started. Adapt the second line to your needs. To get the first day of the week for any given date you can use the weekday() function und subtract the returned value from the given date. Change the second parameter of weekday() to match your understanding of what the first day of week is.

a!forEach(
  items: today() + enumerate(5),
  expression: {
    day: fv!item,
    dow: weekday(fv!item)
  }
)

Sorry, still not sure of the requirement. What is the trigger for the system to do something? If you could provide a specification by example that might help. (Given [this context}, when [this event occurs], then the system [should do this])

Hi,

Not exactly sure of the requirement but would something like this work. Local Start and End dates would become rule inputs of course. But this will return a list of dates that you could then query/manipulate in any way you wanted.

a!localVariables(
local!start: fn!date(2020, 10, 19),
local!end: fn!date(2020, 10, 25),
local!numberOfDays: tointeger((local!end - local!start) + 1),
local!dateList: repeat(local!numberOfDays, local!start),
a!forEach(
items: local!dateList,
expression: fv!item + (fv!index-1)
)
)
