 * Dear,
 * Is it possible to use shortcode with parameters instead of fixing things in the
   shortcode generator ?
   For example, I would like to specify which CPT and custom
   fields to use inside the shortcode (and not in the UI shortcode generator).
 * Thank you
   Kind regardsXerviami

 * Hi Xerviami,
 * I’m afraid that’s not possible. The UI doesn’t just generate a shortcode. It 
   stores those values internally and some data is stored in the database before
   the shortcode gets generated.
 * We have the dynamic limit option, but that doesn’t allow you to change the post
