I don't want the time in the date displayed. Please see my attached images where it is clear.
Thank you so much!

Hello, is "fecha_de_entrada" a field created by Types? If so, then you should use the Types field shortcode to display the date without time.

[types field="fecha_de_entrada" format="Y-m-d"]

If the field is not created by Types, how is it created? What type of field is it? The wpv-post-field shortcode is not helpful for formatting values. It is only for displaying information directly from the database.

No, it was created by ACF plugin (Advanced Custom Fields), as I need to have a signature field and it was not possible with Types. Could you see the screenshots I sent?

Yes, thanks, I can see the screenshots. ACF dates are stored in the database using a different format, so Types field shortcodes can't really change the output easily. Custom code is required to format their date fields.

Another ticket here in the forum shows an example of such code:
