Hi,

Thanks for the details, the custom date field of Types plugin stores value in timestamp format, I have done below modifications in your website:
1) Edit the form "Ajout lot"
hidden link
in section "Form editor", change line 350 from:

<p id="ajout_auto_date-de-livraison" style="display:none;">[types field="date-de-livraison" style="text" format="j F Y" item='[efx_getparam funcparam="parent_immobilier-neuf_id"]'][/types]</p>

To:

<p id="ajout_auto_date-de-livraison" style="display:none;">[types field="date-de-livraison" style="text" format="j F Y" item='[efx_getparam funcparam="parent_immobilier-neuf_id"]'][/types]</p>
<p id="ajout_auto_date-de-livraison-ts" style="display:none;">[types field="date-de-livraison" style="text" format="U" item='[efx_getparam funcparam="parent_immobilier-neuf_id"]'][/types]</p>

The second one will output the custom date field into timestamp format
https://toolset.com/documentation/customizing-sites-using-php/functions/#date

2) In section "JS editor", change line 9~10, to below:

  var date_de_livraison = $("#ajout_auto_date-de-livraison").text();
  $("input[name='wpcf-date-de-livraison[display-only]']").val(date_de_livraison);
  var date_de_livraison_ts = $("#ajout_auto_date-de-livraison-ts").text();
  $("input[name='wpcf-date-de-livraison[datepicker]']").val(date_de_livraison_ts);

Please test again, check if it is fixed or not, thanks
