    Hey Stella, 

    Try this:

    {{event_properties.${datepropertyname} | date: "%d.%m.%Y" }}

    It's the same syntax for custom attributes, just add "|" after the first closing curly bracket and define the format of the date attribute.

Does this work for custom attributes? I can't seem to make this set up work:
{{custom_attribute.${next_club_delivery_date}|date:"%d.%m.%Y"}}

Hi kppool

this  will work with custom attributes as well.
Please make sure, that the field is recognized as a date-type in Braze: See Custom Attributes Data Types 

You can take a look under Data Settings > Custom Attributes to see if Braze automatically detects the data type.
