Tell us what you are trying to do?
I asked something similar in #1924703
I am attempting to perform:
[wpv-conditional if="( '[loop15]' eq '1' )"]
[wpv-post-body view_template="loop-item-in-pilots-child-view"][/wpv-conditional]
where this snippet is save in Toolset>settings>Custom code under [loop15]
I have also tried it under the snippet plugin

The corresponding snippet is as follows, I can't get the if condition to respond to the output-
global $loop_n;
if ( !isset( $loop_n ) ) {
$loop_n = 0;
return 0;
}
$loop_n++;
if ($loop_n > 15)
return 1;
else
return 0;
}};

Hi Les,

Thank you for getting in touch. In order for custom shortcodes to work with our Toolset Conditional shortcode you need to register the shortcode at Toolset -> Settings -> Frontend and under 3rd Party shortcode arguments you will add the name of your shortcode.

Please let me know if it works after this.
Thanks,
Shane

My issue is resolved now. Thank you!

My confusion was thinking entering a name on the custom code was the same as registering it on the front end. Maybe you should have note on the custom code page to point out the necessity to do this if the code is to be returning a value into a conditional if
