Get values from other post - Gutenberg blocks #74

Open NewJenk opened 6 years ago

NewJenk commented 6 years ago

At the moment it doesn't seem possible to get values from other posts if using Gutenberg blocks as the data is saved as JSON, guessing some sort of "Also save data as post_meta" option may make it possible?

Hi @NewJenk

Can you elaborate a little more with an example. Yes, each ACF Block save's its data as JSON within that block, meaning, it is not "meta" and can't be loaded into the page template elsewhere.

I will look into saving block data as "meta", but this is really what metaboxes are for.
