This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The issue here is that the user wanted to display the parent title of their post
Solution:
When using the fields and views button to add the shortcode to the page, it should give you the option to select the post that you want to display the title for. This includes the Parent CPT. See Screenshot
If you select "Post Selection" and then "A post related to the current post, set by a Types relationship" then you should be able to select your parent CPT to display its title.

I am trying to: display the title of the parent cpt
Link to a page where the issue can be seen: hidden link
I expected to see: The Author's name (the Author is a "Team Member" CPT where the name is the CPT title)
Instead, I got: The title of the current post
The Team Member CPT slug is "team-member" and I inserted the shortcode into the Post Template as follows: [wpv-post-title id="$team-member"], which is how I've done this in the past but it's not working for some reason. I'm sure I'm missing something simple or obvious, but I haven't been able to figure out why it's not working.
Thanks for the help.
