How to add a custom field in the product-category for each product?

I want to display a custom attribute for each product in the loop on the product-category page, I'm using a brizy template and I'm using the following shortcode to get the custom attribute and display it on the page:

add_shortcode( 'tgol_product_rarity', 'get_tgol_product_rarity');

function get_tgol_product_rarity() {
	// get shortcode user fields
    $atts = shortcode_atts(array('price' => '14.99', 'sandbox' => 'false'), $atts);

	global $product;
    $local_product = $product;
	
    try {
        if( is_a($local_product, 'WC_Product') ) {
            return wc_format_content( $local_product->get_attribute("rarity") );
			//return $thepostid;
        }

        return "Product description shortcode run outside of product context";
    } catch (Exception $e) {
		return "Product description shortcode run outside of product context";
    }

The problem is that for some reason all of the products are displaying the same attribute event tho every product has a different value for the given attribute, it looks like the global $product variable is being used as a reference for every product but duplicating one of the products value.

What can I do so that using a shortcode I can display the proper attribute for every product on the product-category page?

Thank you!

  Hello!

  Try to check birzy-pro/content/placeholders/post-loop.php line ~77 

  Find the 

  $content .= $replacer->replacePlaceholders($contentPlaceholder->getContent(), $newContext);

  And replace it with

  $content .= do_shortcode( $replacer->replacePlaceholders( $contentPlaceholder->getContent(), $newContext ) );

  Please, before plugin update don't forget to backup your changed files.

  Kind regards,

  Mihail
