It is not supported at present. The way to do this would be by looking up all places in jBPM where new Date() is called and replace this by a piece of code that looks up whatever-date-you-want-to-insert from the jBPM context. It is not quite trivial to do it, but if you want more details post the question on our development forum so that Tom can chime in to give you some additional pointers.
