Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

The easiest way is to use the Views filter hook: wpv_filter_query

Please try to add the following code to your current theme's functions.php file.
OR
You can add it to the "Custom Code" section offered by Toolset:
=> https://toolset.com/documentation/adding-custom-code/using-toolset-to-add-custom-code/

add_filter( 'wpv_filter_query', 'func_custom_field_not_exists_posts', 10, 3 );
function func_custom_field_not_exists_posts( $query_args, $view_settings, $view_id ) {
    if($view_id = 999999) {
        $query_args['meta_query'][] = array(
            'key'     => 'wpcf-field-slug',
            'compare' => 'NOT EXISTS',
        );
    }
    return $query_args;
}

Where:
- Replace 999999 with your original view ID
- Repalce "field-slug" with your original field slug.
