I am trying to use conditional logic to display markers with different colors based on different conditions.
The conditions are fine, however the shortcodes for the custom fields are not rendered as values, making the comparison null.
The field wpcf-start-date is of type date, and seems to display fine otherwise. I noticed that if I place the field inside an HTML comment such as `<!-- [types field='start-date' output='raw'][/types] -->` it renders on the page as `<!-- [types field='start-date' output='raw'][/types] -->`
Here is the code in question:
[wpv-conditional if="( $(wpcf-start-date) lt '[now]' ) AND $(wpcf-start-date) ne '' )" debug="true"]
This shows the following debug
####################
wpv-conditional attributes
####################

(
[if] => ( $(wpcf-start-date) < '1515563880' ) AND $(wpcf-start-date) ne '' )

)

This just started happening today, can't say I changed anything to affect this.
I am right in saying this was working previously and has now stopped working?
There have been problems with complex conditional statements that have arisen with PHP 7. If you have recently switched to PHP 7 that could account for why they have stopped working.
From your question I'm not entirely sure what is and is not working, though.
You include the debug info of one conditional shortcode which appears to show that it is working correctly. The wpcf-start-date custom field is evaluated as 1528390800 and then tested against the value generated by your now shortcode, 1515563880.
The test fails because 1528390800 is greater than 1515563880.
