Javascript auto fill in date fields from reference field

I have a expense form that lists each day of the week. The form has a main date field that the user selects the Saturday date from a drop down calendar. I would like to have the individual days to have the date autofill. Does anyone know the Javascript that will calculate a date from an existing field.

 

Example  If Main Date Field is entered 6/5/2021 (always a Saturday Date), I would like the previous days date to autofill.  Sunday Date field would auto fill with the date 5/30/2021, Monday Date field 5/31/2021, etc for each day of the week through Saturday showing 6/5/2021.  Is this possible?

 

Thanks in advance.

Here is some basic script you can easily adapt (if you wish so) I set field names as week days, you can change that to your actual field names, use script as validation script of "Saturday" field:

if(event.value == ""){
this.getField("Friday").value = "";
this.getField("Thursday").value = "";
this.getField("Wednesday").value = "";
this.getField("Tuesday").value = "";
this.getField("Monday").value = "";
this.getField("Sunday").value = "";}
else{
var d1 = util.scand("m/d/yyyy", event.value)
d1.setDate(d1.g
