Please see this screen recording to see the problem: hidden link.

I've entered a value via the "Show one of these two values", but it still keeps showing the value in the database instead of the value I entered there.

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

From the screencast, it seems that in the content template, the field is set to show the 'raw' value and not the 'normal' value.

In the 'raw' output mode, the stored value from the database will always show, so please make sure that you're using the 'normal' mode.

I hope this helps and please let me know if you need any further assistance around this.

regards,
Waqar

Hi Waqar,

I'm using inline dynamic content, how can I set that to "normal"? There's no setting for that in the sidebar, like there is when using a single field.

Thanks for writing back and your observation is correct.

When using the inline dynamic content feature, there are no additional controls for the field's output.

I'm afraid, for this particular requirement, you'll either have to use the "Single Field" block or the "Fields and Text" block to insert the field's shortcode:

If you face any difficulty in making the field's text appear in line with the rest of the text, you're welcome to share temporary admin login details, so that I can see the output and suggest some workaround or custom CSS code accordingly.

Ok, that's too bad. Please pass that on to the developers as a feature request.

I don't need help anymore with this issue, I fixed it by using a single field block and I've used CSS:before and :after for the text around it.

Another feature request: Divi and other page builders offer a field to set text before and after a dynamic content field. Toolset should have that as well.
