Description

Hello.

I got some issues using posts inside custom blocks.

I am trying to create a custom block that will contain multiple posts that may contain other custom blocks. I need this to create some kind of table with multiple customizable tabs. Each post represents a tab.

Input:
An array of WP_Post objects provided by ACF inside the custom Gutenberg block
here is an example of code that as I think contains my problem

$features = get_field("features") ?: [];
foreach ( $features as  $feature) {
    echo  apply_filters('the_content' , $feature["post"]->post_content);
}

Expected output
Content from each post with all custom blocks in it;

Actual output

Only one type of custom block rendered per array of posts.

As an example: if the first post contains a custom accordion block, then for the following posts accordion block won't be rendered.

Research direction

Start with the provided get_field() and apply_filters('the_content', ...) reproduction, then trace how ACF and Gutenberg process each WP_Post in the loop. Confirm the behavior with multiple posts containing the same custom block; done means every post renders all of its custom blocks independently.
