Hey Guys.
I've seen this before but now I cannot find it for the life of me. Basically on the text component we have the top bar: https://gyazo.com/754513edcebbb0566f18e384d3eba453
How can we insert a select list here for example:
Name Email Phone
which inserts: {{NAME}} {{EMAIL}} {{PHONE}}
It's a short code selector basically?
