Hi there. Is there a way of turning off the shortcode feature in JCE? I can't find this option anywhere. Here's my issue:

I'm using RSForms. When I email users or admins using RSForms, I'm able to include form fields within the email provided they are enclosed in braces; e.g., {firstName:value}.

JCE appears to be changing my code automatically to the following:
<false data-mce-code="shortcode">{firstName:value}</false> or instead of false tags, true tags.

Either way, it's impacting the final result on my form (e.g., some of my span tags are removed, <br> missing, etc.).

This is the desired result:

I'm not sure if there's just a simple setting somewhere that I've missed?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

In Editor Profiles -> Editor Parameters -> Advanced, set Protect Shortcode to No.

Just because you're not paranoid doesn't mean everybody isn't out to get you.
