Jamf Helper Deferral, Exceeded Deferral, Force Install

[KMak84]

I managed to use the jHelper GUI to do the more basic things to notify the users but need a to see if anyone has a one size fits all for application deployment using Jamf Helper.

Is there a way to force the the install of any application after they reached for example 5 deferrals. With Login, log out hooks gone, need to be more lets put this nicely user friendly when deploying updated apps.

This is something I have used that works but need it to force the install after numerous deferrals
