[Resolved] How to build a View that populate a CRED generic field, "select"

I am trying to use a View to populate a CRED generic "select" field.

I tested the view on a page and it returns the posts as it should but I don't get nothing in the form.
The field is completely ignored in front end, nothing ...

Added this to the Cred form

[cred_generic_field field='ytor' type='select' class='' urlparam='']
{
"required":0,
"validate_format":0,
"persist":1,
"default":[],
"options":[[wpv-view name="spaces-select"]]
}
[/cred_generic_field]

This is my View:

[wpv-layout-start]
    [wpv-items-found]
    <!-- wpv-loop-start -->
    <wpv-loop>
      {"value":"[wpv-post-id]","label":"[wpv-post-title]"},
    </wpv-loop>
    <!-- wpv-loop-end -->
    [/wpv-items-found]
[wpv-layout-end]

This is what I get if I add the View to a Page, so the View it self is working.

<div id="wpv-view-layout-5122-TCPID5123" class="js-wpv-view-layout js-wpv-layout-responsive js-wpv-view-layout-5122-TCPID5123" data-viewnumber="5122-TCPID5123" data-pagination="{"id":"5122","base_permalink":"/?page_id=5123&preview=true&wpv_view_count=5122-TCPID5123&wpv_paged=WPV_PAGE_NUM","query":"normal","type":"disabled","effect":"fade","duration":500,"speed":5,"stop_rollover":"false","cache_pages":"enabled","preload_images":"enabled","preload_pages":"enabled","preload_reach":1,"spinner":"builtin","spinner_image":"<em><u>hidden link</u></em>","callback_next":"","manage_history":"enabled","has_controls_in_form":"disabled","infinite_tolerance":"0","max_pages":0,"page":1,"loop":{"type":"","name":"","data":[],"id":0}}" data-permalink="/?page_id=5123&preview=true&wpv_view_count=5122-TCPID5123">

    
    
    
      {"value":"315","label":"A:12"},
    
      {"value":"316","label":"A:18"},
    
      {"value":"314","label":"B:01"},
    
      {"value":"313","label":"B:11"},
    
      {"value":"312","label":"C:01"},
    
      {"value":"300","label":"C:03"},
    
      {"value":"298","label":"C:16"},
    
      {"value":"800","label":"D:12"},
    
    
    
</div>

I found in another question that I need to add the code below to my functions.php to make this work.
I don't know php so my question is can I add multiple view ID's, comma separated?
Or, do I have to repeat this code for every View I want the output to be raw/clean?

add_filter( 'wpv_filter_wpv_view_shortcode_output', 'prefix_clean_view_output', 5, 2 );
   
function prefix_clean_view_output( $out, $id ) {
    if ( $id == '999' ) { //Please adjust to your Views ID
        $start = strpos( $out, '<!-- wpv-loop-start -->' );
        if ( 
            $start !== false
            && strrpos( $out, '<!-- wpv-loop-end -->', $start ) !== false
        ) {
            $start = $start + strlen( '<!-- wpv-loop-start -->' );
            $out = substr( $out , $start );
            $end = strrpos( $out, '<!-- wpv-loop-end -->' );
            $out = substr( $out, 0, $end );
        }
    }
    return $out;
}

Hi,

You can apply the same function to multiple views with PHP function in_array, for example, modify this line from:

if ( $id == '999' ) { //Please adjust to your Views ID

To:

if ( in_array($id, array(999, 123, 456) ) ) { //Please adjust to your Views ID
