I there a way to disallow repeating a quest before a set time has elapsed?
There are some quests I want to only allow every 5 days. I can do it but scripting an invisible item in backpack with a 5 days timer. The questgiver can check for that item
and disallow the start of the quest.
What I was hoping for is the quest log to say Not Available for that quest until the 5 days has elapsed from last time finished.
I hope this question makes sense.

yes, just set the NextRepeatable property on the questholder to the time interval you want.
The time until the quest is available will be listed in the quest log, and in the questholder for that quest if they have it.

- added support for flagging quests as either non-repeatable, or repeatable but only after some time period. If the Repeatable property is set to false on a questholder or questnote item, when the quest is completed and deleted, the player will be given a quest attachment (XmlQuestAttachment) that will flag the player as having completed the quest. If the Repeatable property is set to true (the default) and the NextRepeatable property is set to a TimeSpan value, then the attachment will be set to expire after that time. As long as the XmlQuestAttachment with the quest name is attached to the player, objectives for that quest cannot be completed. The quest can still be held by the player and when the attachment expires, the player can then repeat the quest. Note, staff can add or remove these attachments in-game using [addatt and [delatt to manually control whether specific players can repeat specific quests. The repeatability status of a quest will be shown at the bottom of the quest status gump.
For example spawning a quest as
questholder/name/waitforme/objective1/KILL,orc/autoreward/true/rewardstring/ARMOR,1,2/nextrepeatable/10:00
would make a quest named 'waitforme' with the objective to kill an orc and a random armor auto reward that could only be repeated once every 10 hours.
questholder/name/onlyone/objective1/KILL,balron/autoreward/true/rewardstring/ARMOR,4,5/repeatable/false
would make a quest named 'onlyone' with the objective to kill a balron and a random armor auto reward that could only be done once.
