The shortcode I'm using is:
[survey_records id=number qid="3" aid="selected" data="answer" uid="68" session="last"]
I want the id to be variable, like:
[survey_records id="$variable" qid="3" aid="selected" data="answer" uid="68" session="last"]
How can I change the id parameter to a dynamic variable?
Rather than dropping the shortcode into the content the way you normally would, you'd instead need to add it via code with an echo.
So instead of adding [survey_records id=number qid="3" aid="selected" data="answer" uid="68" session="last"] to the content/block editor, you'd want this instead:
<?php
echo do_shortcode( '[survey_records id="' . $variable . '" qid="3" aid="selected" data="answer" uid="68" session="last"]' );
?>
Now, how you get that into the content, that depends on a lot of different factors. You can use a plugin that lets you add PHP to your content, or write a meta box for posts/pages that allows you to add variables where, if they are present, will execute this sort of function... ...you can hard code it into a specific template and then add some other method of attaching the variable, etc. Lots of ways to do it.
The shortcode function behind that shortcode will need to be able to accept an argument so it can return your variable in the expected place.
If this is a custom shortcode function you wrote, you'll have to make that adjustment. If its a third party shortcode, you'll need to look at their documentation and see if its possible.
