Description
After exporting a ZIP with CBT all pattern are locked - in the current running theme. I'm using TwentyTwentyFive.
I'm developing a new site for a client and I'm in that phase the only user and admin of course.
I can duplicate a pattern and give it a new name - that is unlocking it and I can use it - but have to change all instances - that's annoying.
- Is this a bug?
- 2025 theme issue?
- Did I something wrong?
- And how can I unlock the patterns? in the database? theme.js? anywhere?
Thanks for any help - kind of stuck here.

Reproduce the issue by exporting a ZIP with Create Block Theme while TwentyTwentyFive is active, then inspect the exported patterns and their lock state. Compare the behavior with duplicated and renamed patterns to determine whether the plugin or theme is responsible; done means identifying the cause and documenting a reliable way to preserve or unlock the patterns.
