# Custom origin for vc_acf shortcode

 * I’m wondering if it would be possible to specify somehow a custom origin in the[
   vc_acf] shortcode. As an example, let’s take:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       [vc_acf field_group="72796" field_from_72796="field_657863498c621"]
       ```
   
 * The idea would be something like:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       [vc_acf field_group="72796" field_from_72796="field_657863498c621" custom_post="XX"]
       ```
   
 * So instead of getting the context from the actual place where the shortcode is
   placed, it can go to a different place for getting the fields from there (_custom\
   _post _in the example).
