Currently, the shortcodes have a way to specify a particular category (e.g., cat_id=4) that can be used to filter the results. It would be great if any field could be used in this manner. The WordPress get_posts() function has two parameters that work like this, meta_key and meta_value.
$meta_key and $meta_value
(string) (optional) Only show posts that contain a meta (custom) field with this key and value. Both parameters must be defined, or neither will work.

It would be great to be able to use the shortcode like this:
[project id=1 field_id="formfields-2" field_value="2009"]

great suggestion. I'll 2nd that!
@hept27, I'm pretty sure that this feature has been added to the plugin since version 2.6. The changelog has this note:
2.6

NEW: shortcode attribute to get datasets with specific meta key and meta value

Yes, this works also on my page. but it seems absolutly necessary to place the shortcodes "field_id" and "field_value" at the end of all shortcodes. another order will not work on my WP Installation
e.g. this works:
[project id=15 template=table orderby=formfields-136 order=asc field_id=140 field_value="Test"]
e.g. this works not:
[project id=15 field_id=140 field_value="Test" template=table orderby=formfields-136 order=asc]
WP: 2.9.2
Projectmanager: 2.9.4
