Long and Short date formats in Onboarding

Summary

Use of multiple lengths on date formats

Content

Does anyone know how I can utilise both long and short date formats in different variables? For example I need the long format for Candidate correspondence but a short number format to use internally.

We have {Offer.Startdate} for the long format but I was wondering if I can utilise another variable and apply short format to it, for example expectedstartdate perhaps?
