Reply To: Shortcode inside flexible field

I’m using Contact 7 forms in this way. I have a flexible content field I’m using as a page builder.

I added my shortcode to a text field schedule_a_demo_form like this;
[contact-form-7 id="xxx" title="Schedule A Demo"]

In my template I do this;
$scheduleADemoForm = get_sub_field('schedule_a_demo_form');
echo do_shortcode($scheduleADemoForm);

Also, to prevent users from altering the shortcode in the text field I added a class admin-readonly to the wrapper and in my admin-styles.css added this style;

.admin-readonly {
    pointer-events: none;
}

This prevents them from accessing the input (unless they know how to use developer tools that is 🙂 )
