 * I’m trying to add a content block to an existing form. The content block contains
   a shortcode. Currently, regardless of which shortcode I use the form displays
   the shortcode text instead of the interpreted results.

 * Thanks for the info. I am able to work around the issue now. A suggestion for
   future improvement is to allow embedding shortcodes in content areas.
 * Regards.
