This method sets the allowed days of the week, that can be entered into the Date control. To restrict the manual user input, create a custom validation plugin for the Edit as: Date fields.
Alternatively, you can set up the allowed weekdays and the validation with the Edit as: Date options.
Note: the "allowed" status and the message for each day are stored separately, so you can use this method several times to define individual messages for each set of days.
