This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: On my Map View, I would like to display different marker icons depending on whether or not the post has a specific term from a custom taxonomy.
Solution: Use map marker shortcodes and conditional shortcodes with the has_term function to display different markers based on the has_term function.

Hey! I know you guys have gotten this question MANY times before, but I can't seem to find an example that works for me. Basically, I would like my map markers to be styled differently, depending on my 'status' taxonomy. So if a 'Ticket' is marked as 'closed', I would like it to have a different colored icon than the other 'Tickets'.
I have tried every example that I have came across, with no luck so far. The most promising I think though, was this one:
https://toolset.com/forums/topic/different-map-markers-based-on-custom-taxonomy/
The following is my shortcode block I have under my map:
[wpv-conditional if="(has_term('closed', 'status', null) eq '1')" ]
[wpv-map-marker map_id="ticket-map" marker_icon="<u>[Hidden Link]</u>" marker_id='ticket-marker' marker_field="ticket-address"]
[wpv-post-link]
[/wpv-map-marker]
[/wpv-conditional]
If needed, I can provide credentials so you guys can take a look "under the hood", although I imagine I am completely overlooking something simple, and that wont be necessary. Does this shortcode block need to be somewhere specific? Or do I have a variable mixed up maybe? I appreciate any and all help you can give me. Thanks in advance!
That code change should be made in the existing Shortcode block that contains the conditional and nested map marker shortcodes. You will modify the existing map marker shortcode inside the conditional shortcode to match the syntax I provided. Then you must drag the updated Shortcode block and drop it anywhere inside the Table View loop block. You can drop it in the any of the table body blocks, and it will work. As long as it is inside the Table View loop section when you drop it, it should be fine.
In my screenshot here I created a Custom HTML block in the first table view loop column below the other column content, and inserted the default marker conditional in that Custom HTML block. Then I dragged the original shortcode block just below the Custom HTML block. Either block type is appropriate for inserting conditional shortcodes. Together, these two conditional shortcodes produce the two different markers - one blue marker for closed locations, and another default marker for non-closed locations. You can see both of these blocks are placed inside the Table View loop block structure in the first column, but realistically you could place them anywhere in the Table View loop block.
