[Resolved] How to send parameters to View in Layout?

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

Problem: I would like to include a View in my Layout, and I need to supply some shortcode attributes to the View. It seems I cannot do this with a View cell.

Solution: That is correct, at this time we do not support shortcode attributes in View cells. Instead, use a Visual Editor cell to insert the View shortcode, and apply your shortcode attributes there.

Tell us what you are trying to do?

I have a View with a shortcode attribute that I want to set in the Layout where I use it. Can't find any way to do that.

Is there any documentation that you are following?

Is there a similar example that we can see?

What is the link to your site?

Found that I could include the View from the Text Editor and set parameters in there. Is this really the right way? Seems weird.

Yes that's correct, if you want to use shortcode attributes with a View shown in a Layout, the best way is to use a Visual Editor cell. The View cell is not currently capable of applying shortcode attributes.
