This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: I would like to use a View to show information about a single post. I know the post ID and I would like to pass that ID into the View's filter using a shortcode attribute.
Solution: Use the Query Filter panel in the View editor screen to apply a filter by post ID, set by a shortcode attribute. Pass the desired post ID into the View shortcode using the standard attribute "ids", or modify the settings in the Query Filter to match a custom attribute you have already applied to your shortcode.

Hi, you're on the right track with the shortcode attribute, but there is a bit more configuration required. Edit your View in wp-admin, and in the Query Filter section add a filter by post ID. If you cannot see the Query Filter section, open the Screen Options tab in the top right corner of the admin screen and activate the panel. In the options for the post ID filter, choose "set by a shortcode attribute". The standard attribute name is "ids" so you can modify your shortcode to match the standard, or update the filter settings to use the attribute name "post_id".
