Description
I have used the ACF function acf_register_block_type to register a new block. In the render template, I have included the post title and post thumbnail as the block title and background image, respectively. However, when the post title get_the_title() or thumbnail get_the_post_thumbnail() is updated dynamically, the block does not show the fresh data unless the post is reloaded.

Research direction
Start with the acf_register_block_type registration and its render template, then reproduce the issue by updating the post title or thumbnail without reloading the post. Trace how get_the_title() and get_the_post_thumbnail() are rendered for the block; done means both values show fresh data dynamically.
