Hi I have a toolset date field.

I would like to vary the display of what that field shows based on the current time.

Basically like so:

[wpv-conditional if="( $(wpcf-cancel-date) lt 'NOW' )"]

Where "NOW" would be the current date and time. Is there some way to achieve that without me writing my custom shortcode?

Hello,

It is possible within [wpv-conditional] shortcode, for example:

[wpv-conditional if="( $(wpcf-cancel-date) lt 'NOW()' )"]
...

see our document:
