[Resolved] I need to show only the field values of current post of my CPT in my view

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

Problem:

The issue here is that the user wanted to filter their view by a shortcode parameter that takes a post ID.

Solution:

The first thing that is needed to be done is to add your query filter.

This can be done by clicking the Add Query Filter button, then adding the filter for Post ID.
Then set the filter to get its value from a shortcode parameter.

Following this then you should be able to setup your view like this.

[wpv-view name="MY-VIEW-NAME" ids="[wpv-post-id]"]

Where ids is the parameter you've set it to be and the [wpv-post-id] shortcode is providing the view with an id to filter the posts.

I have a view and the filter setting:
Posts with ID's set by the View shortcode-attribute: ids

I want the page only showng the values for the current post.

In my page I have the shortcode:
[wpv-view name="MY-VIEW-NAME" ids="[wpv-post-id id='$current_page']"] OUTPUT > "]

When I use this:
[wpv-post-id id='$current_page'] OUTPUT > ids="1122"

When I use this:
[wpv-view name="MY-VIEW-NAME" ids="wpv-post-id"] OUTPUT > No items found

Hi Willem,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

Actually by default the [wpv-post-id] shortcode will display the ID of the current post.

So what you need to do is just this.
[wpv-view name="MY-VIEW-NAME" ids="[wpv-post-id]"]

Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
Shane

It gives me all the records.

[wpv-view name="MY-VIEW-NAME" ids="[wpv-post-id]"] OUTPUT > All Posts

Hi Willem,

That is odd.

Would you mind allowing me to have access to the site so that I can quickly check on this for you ?

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Willem,

The issue seems to be with the Shortcode editor for elementor.

I've added the shortcode to a regular text block for elementor and it works fine.

Thanks,
Shane
