 * Hi [@rodrigomarreiro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rodrigomarreiro/),
 * By default, it will be unavailable to update the post date in WPUF from the front
   end. ACF will allow you to map the date field but it will be unavailable to update
   the post date in such a way.
 * You have to use the customization to achieve the post date from the front end.
   Hope you understand.
 * Regards!
