I am trying to show custom field value in form field. This one is working for me
value="[wpv-post-title id='[types usermeta='user_carrier_id' user_is_author='true'][/types]']"
and this one is not working
value="[types field='legal_name' id='[types usermeta='user_carrier_id' user_is_author='true'][/types]'][/types]"

Can you please look into this.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - that is expected as the issue is the nested shortcode you are using and that will not get parsed.

What you should do it try to wrap you shortcode with single custom shortcode:

For example - try to add following code to your current theme's functions.php file:

function func_get_custom_val($atts) {
     
$val = do_shortcode("[types field='legal_name' id='[types usermeta='user_carrier_id' user_is_author='true'][/types]");
      
    return $val;
}
add_shortcode("get_custom_val", "func_get_custom_val");

And later try to assign custom shortcode to value attribute:

value="[get_custom_val]"
