Description

I created a field group with options for a block and wanted to show those fields only when my block is inserted in a page.

When I create a rule set with 'block' AND 'post type' the fields won't show up in all post types for that block.

I also tried it with 'is not equal to' and got the same result. Of course it works perfectly if the rules are only applied to the block.

Research direction

Reproduce the field-group location rules with ACF 5.12 and WordPress 5.9.1 using a block combined with the post-type conditions described, including both equal and not-equal operators. Trace the location-rule evaluation entry point and verify that the fields appear for the expected post types when the conditions are combined.
