Enable acf shortcode functionality by default.

[Nazrinn]

Describe the Problem

I use ACF on the regular, and will frequently need to make text that looks like the following:
[acf field="person_name"], [acf field="person_title"]

However, I have come to realise that ACF removed this shortcode ability by default a while ago, and the code snippet proposed by ACF's official docs does not work when using Elementor.

Propose a Solution

I'd like to see enabling ACF shortcode as an option you can enable on Elementor, since I use the two together pretty much on all my websites. I'd pass using my "hacky" solution if possible, and would like to see the official ACF API being used instead of what I was able to come up with (see below).

Additional Context

I had to add this code snippet to my function.php to get the shortcode to work. It works but I'm honestly pretty surprised this ACF setting is not enabled by default for Elementor.

function acf_field_shortcode($atts) {
    $atts = shortcode_atts(array(
        'field' => '',
        'post_id' => false,
    ), $atts, 'acf');

    if (function_exists('get_field')) {
        $field_value = get_field($atts['field'], $atts['post_id']);

        // If the field is an array (like a select, relationship, or taxonomy field)
        if (is_array($field_value)) {
            $output = [];

            foreach ($field_value as $item) {
                if (is_numeric($item)) {
                    // Check if it's a post ID
                    $post = get_post($item);
                    if ($post) {
                        $output[] = get_the_title($post->ID);
                        continue;
                    }

                    // Check if it's a taxonomy term ID
                    $term = get_term($item);
                    if (!is_wp_error($term) && !empty($term)) {
                        $output[] = $term->name;
                        continue;
                    }
                }

                // If it's not a number, just add the value
                $output[] = $item;
            }

            return esc_html(implode(', ', $output));
        }

        // If it's a single post ID, get the post title
        if (is_numeric($field_value)) {
            $post = get_post($field_value);
            if ($post) {
                return esc_html(get_the_title($post->ID));
            }

            $term = get_term($field_value);
            if (!is_wp_error($term) && !empty($term)) {
                return esc_html($term->name);
            }
        }

        return esc_html($field_value);
    }

    return '';
}
add_shortcode('acf', 'acf_field_shortcode');
