Description
In 6.x, a View can have multiple displays, each with remarkably different content, filters, arguments, and appearances. (New displays are added using the dropdown and Add display button on the left side of admin/build/views/edit/viewName.)
It appears that this module only uses the first display. Please allow choice of display. I have a view where I want to preserve most of the settings of the base display but restrict the number of fields that display so I don't have an overwhelmingly wide select list.

Support is provided for selecting a View display. The confusion may be with the "Allowed Views" checkbox array on the field settings page. This lets you pick Views which can be used by Viewfield. The actual widget which selects a particular view + display combination can be found further down the page and on each node where a viewfield is created.
In general, we need to clean up the user interface quite a bit and provide more documentation.
If you still have questions or are having problems, let us know!

Thanks! I see it now.
Updating issue to make it more precise.
