Tell us what you are trying to do? I am trying to dates for an event two different ways depending on if the start date/time and end date/time are on the same day or multiple days. For example if an event is has a start date of January 1, 2020 at 10:00 am and an end date of January 1, 2020 1:00pm I would want the content template to show: January 1, 2020 10:00 am - 1:00pm. However if an event is say on January 1, 2020 10:00 am and goes until January 3, 2020 at 10:00 am I would want the template to show January 1, 2020 10:00 am - January 3, 2020 10:00 am.

Is there any documentation that you are following? All the documentation I have found on your website is for views and not the block editor. It doesn't appear that I can use shortcodes inside the conditional block of gutenberg.

Is there a similar example that we can see?

I found the following on your website: '[types field='startdate' style='text' format='F, d'][/types]' eq '[types field='enddate' style='text' format='F, d'][/types]' but again I couldn't save that in the conditional block it seems to only use $(wpcf_startdate)

What is the link to your site?

hidden link. - Single day example
hidden link - Multiple Day example

I'm sure there has to be a way to do this it seems like such an easy/common problem.

Sorry i forgot to mention taht I found this: https://toolset.com/forums/topic/conditional-output-related-to-date-fields/ but again it doesn't seem to relate to the new block method.

Hello,

Please try to modify your codes as below:

  ( '[types field="startdate" style="text" format="F, d"][/types]' eq '[types field="enddate" style="text" format="F, d"][/types]' ) 

Tip:
Within shortcode [types ...][/types], use the double quotes
outside shortcode [types ...][/types], use the single quote.

When I do as you recommended the Conditional block reports that the condition is incomplete and does nothing.

The debug basically shows that the conditional block ignored the code completely. Like I said before it seems to me that this doesn't work in the Block editor.

My issue is resolved now. Thank you! It helps if I make sure the field names match the version of the product I am working on. That fixed everything once I updated your sample to match the fields I was currently working on instead of the ones in the generic example.

Thank you for the help.
