This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
Visual Composer Button does not render custom field shortcode.
Solution:
1. You can use create same button by copying VC css class for button and add it on your button link, something like this:
<a href="[types field='car-details-link' output='raw'][/types]"><button class="vc_general vc_btn3 vc_btn3-size-md vc_btn3-shape-rounded vc_btn3-style-modern vc_btn3-color-grey" type="button">Button</button></a>
2. Visual Composer does not allow any shortcode to be used in link URL field as we are trying to. As per the suggestion of our 2nd tier support I tested a custom shortcode in this URL field, but it is also not rendering in the URL field.
Looks like Visual Composer only supports relative URLs and not the absolute urls in this URL option. So we recommend you to please submit this as a feature request to Visual Composer support team as they are the one who has control over what’s allowed in the link field. OR you can use the workaround I posted above for the button.

I am trying to design my custom Post type Template using Content Template and Visual composer. I tried to insert a custom field ( [types field='car-details-link'][/types] ) in a visual composer button URL. for example instead hidden link i put [types field='car-details-link'][/types].
The button of Visual composer will show on the front end but it doesn't show the actual link. (see pictures)
instead this i tried to use Avada's Fusion Builder for building the design of Content Template. The result are great, when i insert the custom field shortcode in a button link it shows the right link which is great. (see Pictures)
I know now i can use avada for Building the content Template but for design reasons i want to use Visual composer.
Is there a way to solve this?
Thank you
