Description

Since the introduction of WP 6.4 (or Gutenberg 16.9), WP blocks have the capability to rename blocks unless specifically opted out using the "renaming" support flag within block.json.

Following this update, in all registered ACF blocks, there is a new input field titled "Block name" within the advanced tab. However, content entered into this field fails to save.

Furthermore, there should be a "Rename" option available in the block inserter menu for ACF blocks, but it appears to be missing.

WordPress 6.4.1
ACF PRO 6.2.3

Research direction

Reproduce the issue with WordPress 6.4.1 and ACF PRO 6.2.3 using a registered ACF block. Check why the Advanced tab's “Block name” value is not saved and why the block inserter lacks “Rename.” Done means both renaming behaviors work for ACF blocks without opting out of block renaming support.
