I remember when I had to use Jira for the first time, which had this "n days ago" display for the tickets. I don't remember if that couldn't be changed or the person in charge just could not/would not do it, but I needed the proper dates often. So I wrote a basic user script which would read the actual dates out of the title (at least the date was in there) tags and then replace the unusable default output with it. I put that in button on the bookmarks bar and over time, several people saw it and adopted my solution. I never met anyone who liked the "human readable" format more that the actual date.
