Display fields of a post related to the current post with ACF post relationships

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem: I would like to use Toolset shortcodes to display information about a post that is related to the current post by an ACF post relationships field.

Solution: To use Toolset shortcodes to display information about another post, you must know the post ID. Then you can pass that post ID into the Toolset shortcode. To get the related post ID, you might need assistance from the ACF support team.

You can use the "id" attribute in any Types or Views shortcode to get information from another post. For example, the post title of a Guide post with ID 12345:

Post title: [wpv-post-title id="12345"]

To display the value of an ACF field with the slug "sous-titre" from Guide post 12345:

Sous-titre field: [wpv-post-field name="sous-titre" id="12345"]

In this CPT I have an ACF dropdown to choose the related CPT "guide".
I do not know exactly how post relationship works in ACF, so you may need assistance from their support team. If you want to display information about a different post using Types or Views shortcodes, you must know the post ID. I do not know how to get the post ID from an ACF related post field. If it's just the dropdown field value, then you might be able to do something like this:

Post title: [wpv-post-title id="[wpv-post-field name='guide']"]<br />
Sous-titre field: [wpv-post-field name="sous-titre" id="[wpv-post-field name='guide']"]
