I'm attempting to limit a view by using a post meta item. I've selected it from the query dropdown and I'm trying to add the shortcode I want it to test against. Pasted from the form:

Field - _private_page_userid_dropdown
The field _private_page_userid_dropdown is a number that is equal to the following:

Shortcode attribute : [wpv-user field="ID"]

but I get this error:
"Only lowercase letters and numbers allowed as shortcode attributes"

Am I being daft?

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

When you add a custom field query filter to filter your view by shortcode attribute, you need to pass the shortcode attribute to view.

For example:

[wpv-view name="your-view-slug" userid=" [wpv-user field='ID']"]

Where:
- Replace your-view-slug with your original view slug
- with custom field query filter where you add the query filter to filter by shortcode attribute add the value userid. Please check the following screenshot: versteckter Link

This is how view's shortcode attribute works. Please let me know if you have any other queries.
