Deferred Update Due Date Plug-in

The Deferred Update Due Date plug-in updates the due dates of a running process or of assignments within the running process. This is useful if you need to update the due date of a process currently being run (rather than of an external process).

This plug-in is the same as the Update Due Date plug-in, except for the fact that it runs in the background.
