Since version v2.5.3 Oct 21, 2019 we have added format options for ${createdDate} and ${dueDate}. To both of these variables add .format("") and inside "" use desired date format. eg. ${createdDate.format("dd-MM-YYYY HH:mm")}

You can use patters specified here: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/time/format/DateTimeFormatter.html#patterns

Here you can see the example with quarters used in creation and due date: ${createdDate.format("'Q'Q.yyyy")} ${dueDate.format("'Q'Q.yyyy")}:

Note: 'dueDate' in Jira is a date field (compared to creation date which is a date time field), thus it doesn't support formatting for lower than 1d time intervals

Note: 'dueDate' variable supports standard Jira Due Date field, if you are using custom field for due date it won't work

We were receiving request about more flexible dates, calculations on those dates are not possible, but we have created new variables (since v2.5.3) allowing you use previous and next values:

List of all new variables :

${createdDate.nextDay}
${createdDate.nextMonth}
${createdDate.nextWeekOfMonth}
${createdDate.nextWeekOfWeekYear}
${createdDate.nextYear}
${createdDate.previousDay}
${createdDate.previousMonth}
${createdDate.previousWeekOfMonth}
${createdDate.previousWeekOfWeekYear}
${createdDate.previousYear}
${dueDate.nextDay}
${dueDate.nextMonth}
${dueDate.nextWeekOfMonth}
${dueDate.nextWeekOfWeekYear}
${dueDate.nextYear}
${dueDate.previousDay}
${dueDate.previousMonth}
${dueDate.previousWeekOfMonth}
${dueDate.previousWeekOfWeekYear}
${dueDate.previousYear}

Update v2.5.7, as a completion to variables ${createdDate.shortMonth} and ${dueDate.shortMonth} we added new variables with numbers:

${createdDate.nextShortMonth}
${createdDate.previousShortMonth}
${dueDate.nextShortMonth}
${dueDate.previousShortMonth}

Example

You can use these variables as shown below:

When the actual issue gets created, the result looks as follows:
