 * i have used the acf shortcode and its working fine when you enter the values 
   manually.
 * Example below
    `[acf field="image_name" post_id="123"]`
 * And when using a dynamic condition, it does grab the value but does not display
   the shortcode
 * Code below
    `[acf field="image_name" post_id="{dynamic.dropdown_1}"]`
 * Here is my dropdown code
 *     ```
       <select name="dropdown_1" data-name="dropdown_1" data-calc_value="0">
         <option value="">Select a Model</option>
         <option value="123">Vitara</option>
         <option value="6630">XL7</option>
       </select>
       ```

 * Hello [@jaedongw](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jaedongw/) ,
 * This will not work, it is an ACF plugin shortcode so fluent forms shortcode will
   not work inside this also shortcode needs to be executed by PHP.
    Let me know
