y.S

Not sure where you found this, but I guess it determines what needs to be done when a shortcode is inserted in a value field. Do you want the shortcode to showup (do not parse)?
Or do you want the values generated by the shortcode to showup (parse)

Dear Nicholas,

I assume we are talking about shortcode [wpv-post-field], you can store other shortcode in the custom field value, for example, custom field "my-field":
my post title is [wpv-post-title]

if you enable the option "Parse inner shortcodes", it will add attribute parse_shortcodes="true" in the [wpv-post-field], like this
[wpv-post-field name="my-field" parse_shortcodes="true"]
then it will be able to parse the shortcode [wpv-post-title] into actual post title.

And I forward it to our editor, the document should be updated.
