Question about adding acf date field in shortcode

    Hi. I have no idea what I am doing or if the following is possible.
    1. I have created a custom post type with acf date field named party_start_date that outputs date YYYY-MM-DD and field named party_start_time that outputs time HH:MM
    2. I go to elementor post templates and add shortcode

    [add-to-calendar-button
  name="POST_TITLE_FIELD_HERE"
  startDate="party_start_date_FIELD_HERE"
  startTime="party_start_time_FIELD_HERE"
  options="'Apple','Google','iCal'"
  buttonStyle="round"
  hideIconButton
  hideBackground
  label="My custom label"
  lightMode="bodyScheme"]

    How or can I put the post title, date and time in the shortcode. I read in docs that if I use startDate=”{sc_start}party_start_date{sc_end}” then it should work but it’s not cuz I am doing probably something wrong. Do I need to use the attributes box also to input there something? Never used the attributes box before, no idea what it’s for.
    Thanks.

    Shortcode in Shortcode only works with shortcodes 😉.

    So, no – no need to use the attributes box.

    But you might have misconfigured the act Shortcode. It needs to be something like this: {sc_start}acf field=”name”{sc_end}

    Seems to be resolved but solution and sample granted needed.
    Could you please post your code here for letting us learn where to succeed to add dynamically
    Post Title field > name
    Post ACF date field > Start Date
    Post ACF filed > Description

    Thx
