UI Date Time calendar Customization
We have a requirement to allow the date time picker calendar control on the UI to have following provisions -
- Disable past dates
- Disable weekends (OOTB)
- Disable non business days
- Enable next month display automatically onload of the calendar pop up (if current date is in last week of current month OR at least enable the first week of the next month while the calendar UI still shows current month date
The navigation mode of the calendar control still needs to be "spinner" and not "dropdown".
We have done necessary configurations and set up proper business calendars with timezones and allocated to operator profiles. However we have only seen that in OOTB calendar with "spinner" navigation, only "disable weekends" is possible and others are not possible.
Even with business calendar configuration with specified holidays, the holidays do not get disabled on the calender form and are still selectable.
Is there a way to implement the first 3 listed options above with the date time picker control having "spinner" navigation?
Is there a work around on the last point or at least a way to enable the first week of the next month when the calendar is displaying dates of the current month?
If none of the options above are possible, is there a way to implement custom control / custom react control with the above features that are parameterizable from Pega?

I had similar requirements to fulfil with the date control. They did not want to see dates prior to certain date when the service went live.
We were unable to use the OOTB pega date time picker and had to build our own control. Probably not the answer you wanted, but to go into more detail:
- We built a section with individual drop downs for day/month/year/hours/minutes
- Built sources for each control which followed the individual business rules
-Used a data transform to then use the individual captured properties to build the DateTime property.
Although more effort at first, it gave us more flexability to fulfil other dateTime business requirements later on in the project.
