This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
Check current page information in wpv-conditional shortcode.
Solution:
You can get the subtitle field value of current page with shortcode:
[types field='subtitle' item="$current_page"][/types]
Then you can use it in the wpv-conditional shortcode directly, for example:

I am trying to:
I’m trying to display a line of html conditionally in the same way in two custom post types, using Views. The same Types custom field is being used in both content templates. The views are nearly identical. The specific lines of html and the wpv-conditional shortcode in question in the two content templates are identical.
Attached screenshots show the content templates with html for the respective pages. The conditionally displayed H2 line is at bottom in each. The view named “inside page header - podcast post” gives the expected result, while the view named “inside page header - writing post” does not.
Link to a page where the issue can be seen:
On this page, it’s working. The H2 subtitle (“Elias and Pete discuss law and insurgent cities”) is conditionally displayed.

On this page, it’s not working. There should be an equivalent H2 subtitle showing under the H1 title (“What I Saw at the Socialism Conference”).

Luo Yang, thank you for getting into this with me.
The field whose value ("What I Saw at the Socialism Conference") is showing on that page isn’t the subtitle, actually, but the main title, which is taken from a Types field I’ve added called "display title." The field for the subtitle is just called "subtitle." Here are the relevant lines from the content template "Loop item in inside page header — writing post":
<h1>[types field='display-title' item='$current_page'][/types]</h1> [wpv-conditional if="( $(wpcf-subtitle) ne '' )"]<h2 style="border: none;">[types field='subtitle' item='$current_page'][/types]</h2>[/wpv-conditional]
I’ve added a screenshot showing the fields in the post itself.
I didn’t know about the cache disabling attribute. I’ve added it to the wpv-view shortcode as you suggest.
It may be useful to note that on both custom post types — the post type with the view working correctly as well as this one, where it isn’t working — the wpv-view shortcodes for displaying the respective, nearly identical content templates are placed in GeneratePress "Page Header" posts. (Added a screenshot showing this as well.) It seems like this complicates the query, since there is more than one hierarchical relationship involved. But I am still only beginning to understand how these things function.
