Custom Tag/Field not working?

I followed the instructions here:
https://contactform7.com/2015/01/10/adding-a-custom-form-tag/

Put the code in functions.php:

add_action( 'wpcf7_init', 'custom_add_form_tag_clock' );
 
function custom_add_form_tag_clock() {
    wpcf7_add_form_tag( 'clock', 'custom_clock_form_tag_handler' ); // "clock" is the type of the form-tag
}
 
function custom_clock_form_tag_handler( $tag ) {
    return date_i18n( get_option( 'time_format' ) );
}

And then added it to my form like so:

<label> Name:</label>[text* full-name] 
<label> City:</label>[text city] 
<label> State:</label>[text state] 
<label> Zip Code:</label>[text zip-code] 
<label> Phone:</label>[text phone] 
<label> Email:</label>[email* email] 
<label> Comments: </label>[textarea* comments]
[clock]
[submit "SUBMIT"]

But I don’t get a clock, I get just “[clock]” on the page the form is put into?

If it makes a difference, the form is inserted into a theme template with the shortcode.
I am running the latest contact form 7 version available to me at this time ( 5.0 )
And my wordpress version is fairly recent as well, not the most recent but within a few version numbers.

Thanks for any help!
Also, while I have the chance, thank you for the plugin! I use it all the time.
I’m excited to be able to customize it even further with this feature.
