I have an api with financial data (currency, metal prices, etc.) that I would like to use for calculations. I can make the data display in the form using a shortcode in the html field, but I can’t use the results for the calculations. Is there a way to use shortcodes in a number field, or is there another way to get the data into the form (even in a hidden field is fine)?
For instance, at https://www.pmcalc.com/sample-page/, I would like to use the displayed gold price to complete calculations for the “Price 10k” field.
Thanks!
