   Important!!!

   The date picker field in deferred deployment section has a know issue. The component doesn´t appear with selected Azure DevOps theme. This occurs because this component is from Office UI library and I don´t know how to apply Azure DevOps themes to this library yet. This is a backlog item for next releases.
