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 runs in the background. This is the only aspect in which it differs from the Update Due Date plug-in.
