Block do not save the control value

  • I created a simple lazy block:

    
<p>Open <a href="https://foo.com/{{my_custom_id}}" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)">here ({{my_custom_id}})</a>.</p>

    When I add the block in my post, it correctly tells me that my_custom_id is required.

    When I enter a value, it correctly update the editor view ( I have Single output code for Frontend and Editor checked ).

    When I click on preview or publish the article, instead of the value I entered, it is using the default value.

    I did not want a default value but I just put abc in the Lazy Block value to test that the interpolation with handlebars was working.

    And it must, since I am seeing abc in the website. But I do not see the value I entered in the editor.

    PS: I tried with {{ and with 3 as well. Both yield the same result.

    Hi.

    I don’t see such a problem on the test server. Please, could you export the block and share it? https://lazyblocks.com/documentation/export-blocks/

    Regards, nK.

    The preview inside the block editor is correct but when i am in the preview, the default value is used instead of what i entered

    It might be a conflict with another plugin. But not sure which one.

    Hi.

    I see you checked the “Save in meta” control option. If you want to use it, read here how – https://lazyblocks.com/documentation/examples/display-custom-fields-meta/.

    Most probably you just need to uncheck this option.

    Regards, nK.
