Description
Hi
I have a weird issue.
I created blocks with acf (latest version both for WordPress and Acf).
One of the block is a relationship block.
When the block is placed in the content but no post is selected, and when the post is saved with this empty block, the admin will always send a fatal error.
After that the only fix I have is to switch to a default WordPress theme which doesn't include the block, to remove the empty block and then switch back to my theme.
Is it a bug or is it coming from my code?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure in the WordPress admin with an ACF relationship block left empty, then compare saving it with the default WordPress theme. Confirm whether the fatal error occurs consistently and whether the empty block can be removed without switching themes; the issue does not name a file or test to inspect.
