ACF Blocks Todo list

Hi all 👋,

Welcome to the ACF Blocks todo list. Here you will find all the items we are working on for the upcoming ACF Blocks feature.

Bugs

• Unload prompt always shows even after post is published
• Field value is lost when deleting / recreating a field with the same name
• Default values are not loaded in render_callback
• Prevent "edit html" option
• Duplicate Block is not working
• Reusable Block is not working
• Conflicting input names cause issues with duplicate fields (radio)
• Field widths in sidebar should be ignored (100% width CSS override)
• Fix "reordering" rows not affecting preview (rep/flex row index number => string)

Features

• Allow "alignment toolbar' to be disabled / customized
• Support the "anchor" setting for table of contents
• Use icon in alignment toolbar to switch between edit/preview
• Add setting for default mode (edit/preview)
• Add setting for default align (full, wide, left, right)
• Add setting to restrict mode
• Allow render_callback to provide different front/back markup
• Add render_template setting to avoid callback function
• Add setting to restrict post types

Ideas

• Save values using field name instead of field key
• WP renders all dynamic blocks on "edit page load" (see wp.apiFetch.createPreloadingMiddleware() inline script). Take advantage of this to avoid AJAX preview requests on initial load.
• Use "acf/prepare_field" to change input key to name. Add hidden inputs for "_acf_reference"
• Add post_id value to $block parameter in callback
• Add JS actions during "switch" and "render" events.

Tasks

• Write documentation for acf_register_block() function.
• Write documentation for ACF Blocks feature.

Please leave any comments below, but try not to bloat this ticket into a chatroom.

Thanks
Elliot

The issue is a completed ACF Blocks checklist, with every bug, feature, idea, and task marked done; no file or test is named. There is no remaining scope to start from, so review references such as acf_register_block(), render_callback, render_template, and wp.apiFetch only if maintainers reopen a specific item.
