Description

Editing SCF blocks in pattern mode doesn't work.

It doesn't load SCF's UI styling and you can't edit them. Only if you enable preview mode and use the sidebar.

Editing SCF blocks only seems to work in the regular editor.

You think it's possible to fix this? Would like to use patterns for elements such as navigation blocks.

Thanks!
