I am trying to:

Filter view output by post IDs, doing this:

<div>[wpv-view name="professioninprofiguideview" $ids="[types field='profiguide-profession-ids' format='FIELD_VALUE' separator=','][/types]"]</div>

So, 'profiguide-profession-ids' is numeric field with multiple possible values, contain only few IDs like
35872
35991
etc...

Link to a page where the issue can be seen:

Hm... this is hidden now from public

I expected to see:

View, filtered by ID's (see screenshot)

Instead, I got:

All posts of this type, not just listed in $ids param

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - I see how you added the view's shortcode attribute and by reviewing that code I found that you have added the view's shortcode attribute wrong way.

Could you please try to add view's shortcode attribute as given under - You should not use "$" sign with attribute name:

[wpv-view name="professioninprofiguideview" ids="[types field='profiguide-profession-ids' format='FIELD_VALUE' separator=','][/types]"]
