I am trying to get a result from a view (id 1081) that supplies me with a result 1120 then I want to use that 1120 Result in the next view as the attribute

add_shortcode('daily-pest', 'facilty26');
function facilty26($atts) {
$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
$user_id = $current_user->ID;
$owned = types_render_usermeta( "owned", array( "user_id" => $user_id, "output" => "raw" ) ); -- Finding out what Facility They Own
$output = array('id' => '1081', 'facility' => $owned); --- Using the Facility owned attribute to find latest report filled out
$issue = render_view( $output );
$args = array('id' => '969', 'report' => $issue); -- Trying to use the Result from The render_view( $output ); as the attribute to now ONLY list retults from the parent with the id that matched the result.
return render_view( $args );
}

I hope this make sense but i am stuck I can get the first render view to return the value that I want.. but can't get the second to work correctly...

To add to this... The Second Array Parameter is used to sort by Parent. If that helps any

Hi, I think instead of rendering Types fields and rendering Views, you should consider accessing the data values more directly.

$owned = types_render_usermeta( "owned", array( "user_id" => $user_id, "output" => "raw" ) ); 

Use get_user_meta instead of types_render_usermeta. The API types_render_usermeta just adds an unnecessary step, because you're using the raw data anyway:

$owned = get_user_meta($user_id, "wpcf-owned", true);

Documentation for get_user_meta here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_user_meta

$issue = render_view( $output );
$args = array('id' => '969', 'report' => $issue); 

When you call render_view, the results will include HTML markup, line breaks, and spaces that will cause problems in the second View's filter. Instead, you could use the API get_view_query_results to get the result set, then get the data you need from the results:
https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/views-api/#get_view_query_results

Let me know if you have questions about that.
