In general, the trick is to change the underlying data, not trying to display things in a different way.

So the issue here is, while this will show the "value" of "Date2" as "ri!date1+1", that value will never get saved into ri!date2, because the saveInto parameter of a component never evaluates until the user changes the value of that component.

The actual way to get the "ri!date1" component to effect the value of ri!date2, is to use the saveInto in the "Date1" date field to target BOTH variables (and preferably, show the "Date2" field as read-only).

saveInto: {
  ri!date1,
  
  a!save(ri!date2, ri!date1 + 1)
}

As far as adding 1 to "date1" value but skipping weekends - i'm afraid Stefan already answered your question above along with the linked documentation which I even provided you a highlight of - to reiterate, you'll want to use a!addDateTime() and utilize the advanced functionality it contains, which includes a way to observe the system calendar in its date addition.

{
  a!dateField(
    label: "Date1",
    labelPosition: "ABOVE",
    value: ri!date1,
    saveInto: ri!date1,
    validations: {}
  ),
  a!dateField(
    label: "Date2",
    labelPosition: "ABOVE",
    value: ri!date1+1,
    saveInto: ri!date2,
    validations: {}
  )
}

Did you read the documentation Stefan linked, by any chance? Because it seems to contain your answer...

Can you post the code that you've tried so far?

Hi Harshit

thanks for quick response but date 2 should auto populate on the basis date 1

and Date 2= Date 1 + 1 ( business days only ) so for skipping Saturday and Sunday what should I do?

Date 2= Date 1 + 1 ( business days only )

if(
  ri!date1+(day()*1)=ri!date2,
  null,
  "There was a problem "
)

Is that a UI question?

Did you check the a!addDateTime() function?
