Research direction

Reproduce the reported sequence with a Simple Payment block, entering settings before switching from the Code Editor to the Visual Editor. Compare the block state before and after the switch and trace the editor transition to identify where the settings are lost. Done means all entered settings remain intact after returning to the Visual Editor.
