Could this code:
https://usethinkscript.com/threads/vertical-dashed-line-shown-where-date-change.15421/
be adjusted so that it will make a weekly vertical dashed line that has the date near the bottom of the line written vertically along the line?

or could this code:
https://usethinkscript.com/threads/line-at-a-certain-date.12759/
so that I get this same line for each week with the weekly Monday date on it? I'd also like to adjust the color to a grey so that it's not too intrusive.

This will automatically plot a vertical line at the first day of each week with an optional bubble to display the day/date on the vertical line.

Code: 
#weekly vertical line
#Move this to upper panel

declare upper;

Code: 
#weekly vertical line
#Move this to upper panel

declare upper;

input vertical_date = yes;
def wk = GetWeek() != GetWeek()[1];
AddVerticalLine(wk,
if vertical_date then
(if GetDayOfWeek(GetYYYYMMDD()) == 1 then "Monday"
else if GetDayOfWeek(GetYYYYMMDD()) == 2 then "Tuesday"
else if GetDayOfWeek(GetYYYYMMDD()) == 3 then "Wednesday"
else if GetDayOfWeek(GetYYYYMMDD()) == 4 then "Thursday"
else if GetDayOfWeek(GetYYYYMMDD()) == 5 then "Friday"
else if GetDayOfWeek(GetYYYYMMDD()) == 7 then "Sunday"
else "")  + "\n   " + AsPrice(GetYYYYMMDD())
else "", Color.GRAY);

You can also choose to display the day/date on the vertical line or on a bubble at the line. Make your choices at the input screen. If you want this option, then use the following code.

This code is set to declare lower. To get the bubble to display properly, just move the script to the upper panel. A question mark will appear in the upper left corner notifying you of this move. Just ignore it.

I've tried it for a few weeks and would like to change the date set up to ddmmyyyy instead of having the year first and having to look for the small number of the month after the year. Thanks for all you do.

This will display the date as dd/mm/yyyy

Please also make sure that the circled area is not checked in chart settings

In an effort to clean up the chart, Is it possible to put a counter in the code so that only the first line of every four appear so that I only see the first line of each month? Thank you for your continued help.

See if this is what you want.

It now has an option to limit the display to: input number_to_display = 2;

Also, to then display the first day of the month or first day of the beginning of the week: input basis = {default month, week};

Screenshot 2023-08-08 144427.png
Code: 
#weekly vertical line
#Move this to upper panel

declare lower;
input basis = {default month, week};
input vertical_date = no;
input number_to_display = 2;

def wk   = if basis == basis.month
           then GetMonth() != GetMonth()[1]
           else GetWeek() != GetWeek()[1];
def wkcount = if wk then wkcount[1]+1 else wkcount[1];
def year = (Round(GetYYYYMMDD() / 10000, 0));
def Month = GetMonth();
def Day = GetDayOfMonth(GetYYYYMMDD());
AddVerticalLine(if highestall(wkcount) - wkcount < number_to_display then wk else double.nan,
if vertical_date then
(if GetDayOfWeek(GetYYYYMMDD()) == 1 then "Monday"
else if GetDayOfWeek(GetYYYYMMDD()) == 2 then "Tuesday"
else if GetDayOfWeek(GetYYYYMMDD()) == 3 then "Wednesday"
else if GetDayOfWeek(GetYYYYMMDD()) == 4 then "Thursday"
else if GetDayOfWeek(GetYYYYMMDD()) == 5 then "Friday"
else if GetDayOfWeek(GetYYYYMMDD()) == 7 then "Sunday"
else "") + "   " + Month + "/" + Day + "/" + AsPrice(year)
else ""
, Color.GRAY);

#Location for for bubbles
plot x100 = if wk then 100 else Double.NaN;
plot x0   = if wk then 0 else Double.NaN;

input bubble = yes;
input bubble_location = {default bottom, top};
AddChartBubble(bubble and if highestall(wkcount) - wkcount < number_to_display then wk else double.nan,
(if bubble_location == bubble_location.top then x100 else x0),
(if GetDayOfWeek(GetYYYYMMDD()) == 1 then "Monday"
else if GetDayOfWeek(GetYYYYMMDD()) == 2 then "Tuesday"
else if GetDayOfWeek(GetYYYYMMDD()) == 3 then "Wednesday"
else if GetDayOfWeek(GetYYYYMMDD()) == 4 then "Thursday"
