I've been unable to use shortcodes within shortcodes following this guide:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/shortcodes-within-shortcodes/

I have a shortcode [youtube-video] that I have registered in Settings > Third-party shortcode arguments

This is the code in my template. The problem is that the rest of the page HTML code after this shortcode renders not as HTML but as text.

[youtube-video video_id='[types field="youtube-url-code" output="raw"][/types]']

Since this involves a Custom ShortCode, I can not know what happens here.

Let's try to narrow it down together.

1. [types field="youtube-url-code" output="raw"][/types]

- What does this output if you paste the ShortCode or create it with the GUI directly, not nested in your ShortCode

2. [youtube-video video_id='']

I assume, you expect a ID to be based here.
Usually, ID's are numerical values.
Your above Types field instead seems a URL

Anyway, what is [youtube-video video_id=''] outputting on it's own, if you pass a manually entered ID (whatever value you have coded here)?

3. Please then analyze both results.
Are they outputting what you expect?

4. Try to register both ShortCodes (your Custom AND the Types one) in the Toolset > Settings.

Can you tell me above results?
