This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: I need to add a script tag to my Custom Template. In the script tag's src attribute, I would like to append a URL variable and value coming from a custom field, but I cannot get the Types numeric field shortcode to work correctly. The shortcode is written out in the src URL instead of being executed. I need to add the custom field's numeric value in a URL parameter attached to the src URL.
Solution: It turns out that WordPress does not execute shortcodes in script tags URL parameters, whether or not Toolset is involved.Thi p The same problem can be seen even if custom shortcodes are use i . The solution in this case is to get the value of the custom field using the types_render_field API, then append that value to the src attribute URL using a custom shortcode.

Tell us what you are trying to do?
Is there any documentationHello,
I use Toolset with Elementor Pro.
I use toolset to manage a publication type "Book". Among the fields of this publication type, its EAN number.
This site is affiliated with an online bookstore to sell the books listed. The line of code for the affiliation is of the type :
<script type="text/javascript" id="script_widget_notice" src="hidden link"></script>
So to generate this line automatically, I need to include the EAN reference in the line of code. But I can't do it.
I edit a text block in Elementor, I can display the EAN field value using [types field='ean' output='normal' format='FIELD_VALUE'][/types]
but when I use <script type="text/javascript" id="script_widget_notice" src="hidden link field='ean' output='normal' format='FIELD_VALUE'][/types]&color=1&width=195&id_affiliate_widget=xxx"></script>
It doesn't work. The value of the EAN field is not integrated.
Example page: hidden link
I don't know how to do it anymore. Thank you in advance for your help.
Thank you in advance for your help,

Translated with hidden link (free version) that you are following?
Is there a similar example that we can see?
What is the link to your site?
It looks like the Types field shortcode is not being evaluated, it is simply written out into the content of the page. See the screenshot here, you can see the shortcode is not executed in the script tag. Can you explain how you inserted the script tag into the page here? Is it included in an Elementor builder template somehow? What type of "block" or "element" did you use to insert this content? Please provide a screenshot or screenshots showing the script tag code in the template or page builder, and let me know which blocks or element is used to insert this content.
Yes, that's exactly the problem.
I tried several ways, they all give the same result. Either the code is not interpreted, or no data is sent, while above the same line returns the data...
I don't understand...
Here is the capture of what I have actually put.
But I also tried :
[wpv-autop]<script type="text/javascript" id="script_widget_notice" src="hidden link field='ean' output='raw'][/types]&color=1&width=100%&id_affiliate_widget=478"></script>[/wpv-autop]
and
<script type="text/javascript" id="script_widget_notice" src="hidden link field='ean' output='raw'][/types]&color=1&width=100%&id_affiliate_widget=478"></script>
It's the same...
Incomprehensible to me.
