As the title says.

It is not possible to output a custom field using the ACF shortcode within the Query Loop block.

It just outputs "nothing".

Research direction

The issue names the ACF shortcode and WordPress Query Loop block but no repository file or test. Reproduce the shortcode inside a Query Loop with a populated custom field, then trace the block’s rendered output; done means the field value appears instead of an empty result and a regression test covers it.
