 * Does CPT UI (normal not Extended) not support shortcode creation?

 * If you mean the plugin itself helping create and register the shortcodes, no 
   we do not have anything like that in there.
 * If you’re referring to the posts in the post types created actually getting parsed
   out instead of showing literal “[some-shortcode]” and similar, then that’s a 
   detail not actually controlled by CPTUI. However, if the template files being
   used when viewing the posts are set up properly, they should get parsed out still.
   Specifically, things like `the_content()` should be getting used, which is where
   the parsing occurs.
