I solved the issue by using IssueEvent api .

@EventListener
      public void onIssueEvent(IssueEvent issueEvent) {
         Long eventTypeId = issueEvent.getEventTypeId();
         Issue issue = issueEvent.getIssue();
         System.out.println("Issue object is : "+issue);
         Collection<Version> versionCollection = issue.getFixVersions();
         Date date = null ;
         for(Version version : versionCollection){
               date = version.getReleaseDate();
               break;
         }
         System.out.println("Issue Realease date  is : "+date);
         // if it's an event we're interested in, log it
         if (eventTypeId.equals(EventType.ISSUE_CREATED_ID)) {
            log.info("Issue {} has been created at {}.", issue.getKey(), issue.getCreated());
            System.out.println("Issue is created , issue key is :"+issue.getKey());
            IssueManager issueManager = com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager.getInstance().getIssueManager();
            System.out.println("issueManager :"+issueManager);
            CustomFieldManager cfManager = com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager.getInstance().getCustomFieldManager();
            System.out.println("cfManager :"+cfManager);
            MutableIssue missue = issueManager.getIssueObject(issue.getKey());
            System.out.println("MutableIssue :"+missue);
            CustomField cf = cfManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("MyMapDate");
            System.out.println("CustomField :"+cf);
            IssueChangeHolder changeHolder = new DefaultIssueChangeHolder();
            System.out.println("IssueChangeHolder :"+changeHolder);

Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance(); 
            c.setTime(date);
            c.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR, 2); 
            Date dates = c.getTime(); 
            cf.updateValue(null, missue, new ModifiedValue(missue.getCustomFieldValue(cf), ""+dates),changeHolder);
            System.out.println("Updated date is :"+changeHolder.getChangeItems().get(0));
         } else if (eventTypeId.equals(EventType.ISSUE_RESOLVED_ID)) {
            log.info("Issue {} has been resolved at {}.", issue.getKey(), issue.getResolutionDate());
         } else if (eventTypeId.equals(EventType.ISSUE_CLOSED_ID)) {
            log.info("Issue {} has been closed at {}.", issue.getKey(), issue.getUpdated());
         }
     }

Easiest way to do this is to use the script-runner add-on to provide a "scripted field".

Or you'll have to write a small plugin to provide a field that does this.
