Tell us what you are trying to do?
Get the title of the parent title in a filtered view

Is there any documentation that you are following?
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/displaying-fields-of-parent-pages/

Currently, I have a filtered view which shows children posts linked from a parent CPT.

Example:
My CPT: my-portfolio

URL:
mysite.com/my-portfolio/

I have parent and children pages using WP hierarchy.
parent
parent
parent
-child
-child

I click on child, where portfolio-child Is a child page, my URL is:
portfolio-child/?wpv-child-of=654

In my child view, which lives in a page has the following filter:
Select posts that are children of the Post with ID set by the URL parameter wpv-child-of.
eg. hidden link

So my URL is:
portfolio-child/?wpv-child-of=654

I would like to retrieve the title of the parent page, but I am getting the title of the static page the view lives in:
So instead of getting:

Portraits Main (parent of CPT)
my-portfolio/portraits-main/

I am getting the title of the static page where the view is.

I have tried [wpv-post-title id="$cpt"]

Thank you!!

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - could you please tell me which shortcode you use to display your parent title?
I see you tried with following:

[wpv-post-title id="$cpt"]

Could you please try following code:

[wpv-post-title id="$my-portfolio"]

Where - "my-portfolio" is your parent post type slug. If your parent post type slug is different you should change it accordingly.

$cpt is custom post type, in my case, $my-portfolio. This is what I tried and did not work. Thanks.

Well - I need to check on your install whats going wrong there in order to be of quick help.

*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
I would also eventually need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to your site. Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.

I would additionally need your permission to de- and re-activate Plugins and the Theme, and to change configurations on the site. This is also a reason the backup is really important. If you agree to this, please use the form fields I have enabled below to provide temporary access details (wp-admin and FTP).

I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.

Well - I check that you are not using classic post type relationship but hierarchical post structure.

To get the parent post title - you should use the shortcode:

 [wpv-post-title id="[wpv-search-term param='wpv-child-of']"]

More info:
=> https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/views-shortcodes/#wpv-search-term

Could you please confirm it works for you and solution help you to display the parent post title.

Thank you for pointing me to the documentation, I would have never guessed to use search term.

Thanks for your help.
