Using Gutenberg Toolset Conditional block for User Fields/Forms

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

Hello, I'm trying out the Toolset blocks in Gutenberg, but am having trouble translating what works in straight HTML vs what I need to place inside the Toolset Conditional block.

Solution:

Please try these:

( ( '[types usermeta="userfield1" output="raw" current_user="true"][/types]' = '1' ) AND ( '[wpv-search-term param="_success"]' != '' ) ) 
And test again.

Tip: Within shortcode [types ...][/types], you need to use double quotes instead of single quote

Hello, I'm trying out the Toolset blocks in Gutenberg, but am having trouble translating what works in straight HTML vs what I need to place inside the Toolset Conditional block. Please advise... thank you!

ULTIMATE GOAL: TRANSLATE THE FOLLOWING HTML CODE INTO A CONDITIONAL BLOCK (note: userfield1 is a radio field):
[wpv-conditional if="('[wpv-search-term param="_success"]' NE '') AND ('[types usermeta='userfield1' output='raw' current_user='true'][/types]' EQ '1')"]
[/wpv-conditional]

TOOLSET CONDITIONAL BLOCK STATEMENT THAT WORKS (after adding Toolset Conditional block, Add New Conditions, Advanced Editor):
( ( '[wpv-search-term param="_success"]' != '' ) )

TOOLSET CONDITIONAL BLOCK STATEMENT THAT DOES NOT WORK (TOOLSET ERROR: "Please, complete all the conditions or remove them"):
( ( '[wpv-search-term param="_success"]' != '') AND ( '[types usermeta='userfield1' output='raw' current_user='true'][/types]' = '1' ) )

Hello,

Please try these:

  ( ( '[types usermeta="userfield1" output="raw" current_user="true"][/types]' = '1' ) AND ( '[wpv-search-term param="_success"]' != '' ) )

And test again.

Tip: Within shortcode [types ...][/types], you need to use double quotes instead of single quote.

Thanks Luo, this works! Definitely needed that tip about the double quotes!
( ( '[types usermeta="userfield1" output="raw" current_user="true"][/types]' = '1' ) AND ( '[wpv-search-term param="_success"]' != '' ) )

Follow up question... I will have quite a few of these statements on the page with up to 3 variables in each statement. Would it be better to nest them, or to have a bunch of individual statements like the one above (which may include 3 variables) with different combinations of values? I want to make each page load as quickly as possible.
