Deleting an already existing block and then undoing the change shows ID: Value has to be unique

[JohannesPertl]

Describe the bug When deleting a block that was already saved before inside the editor and then undoing the change, the error ID: Value has to be unique is shown. Probably, because it tries to create a new block instead of referencing the old one.

To Reproduce

1. Create a block in the flexible editor, save the collection item.
2. Open the collection item, delete the block and undo the change.
3. Try to save

Flexible Editor Version: [e.g. 1.1.7]

Directus Version: [e.g. 10.8.3]

Does the bug still occur on your system? I can't reproduce it. Can you give me more information about what kind of block it is?

[JohannesPertl]

It always occurs with any custom block, even on the latest version. Here's a video:

Can you please provide more information on how to reproduce the bug? This could be either your schema created by the directus cli or a step-by-step guide on how to rebuild your collections and blocks.

Maybe you can also share your directus env vars (without sensitive data)?

@formfcw I created the simplest representation of a project where the bug occurs, the schema is included: https://github.com/JohannesPertl/directus_bug_test/tree/main

@JohannesPertl 🙏 Thanks for sharing the repo. I can now reproduce the bug. It seems to be a tricky one.

As a not-so-user-friendly workaround: If you manually refresh the page after creating an item, the bug does not appear.

Will be fixed in v1.4.2. Stay tuned!
