The related documentation page is here: https://www.meta-inf.hu/display/PLUG/How+to+Format+Date+and+Time+Values

One example is:

#set($formatter = $!jetiFieldFormatter.getJavaDateTimeFormat("dd/MMM/yy")
$!jetiFieldFormatter.formatSafely($formatter, $issue.getCustomFieldValue("customfield_12345"))

Do i just include the first line anywhere in the email? and the second line where i want the value to display? it is giving me an error. with ALOT more line.

Sorry, a closing parenthesis was missing, it is correct in this:

#set($formatter = $!jetiFieldFormatter.getJavaDateTimeFormat("dd/MMM/yy"))

You can put this anywhere in the template, the best is to put right at the first place you need the formatter.
