I am trying to put together a form that needs to use a shortcode inside of the field descriptions. Basically, I'm trying to embed media (using the <code>[embed][/embed]</code> shortcode) inside of descriptions for a quiz-form I'm working on, but when I load the form, the code itself just shows up rather than actually parsing the shortcode.</p> <p>I understand that this feature isn't built into Gravity Forms out-of-the-box, but if there is a hook/filter I can grab onto in order to run the field description through <code>do_shortcode()</code> or to apply the standard content filters ( <code>apply_filters(&#39;the_content&#39;,$description)</code> ), that would be awesome. Thanks. </p>
