 * Hi
 * Is there a way to get the shortcodes working on a custom backend page?
    I’d like
   to do a simplified backend-page with only the neede fields out of the form. when
   I create a page with add_menu_page(), the shortcodes won’t work – there is a 
   blank page.

 * I don’t know. When you add the page, you may need to all [do_shortcode](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/do_shortcode/)
   rather then just putting the shortcode in the page text.
 * You could create a private page with a shortcode.
