how to create an ‘entry template’ with re-usable blocks
-
the reusable blocks are agreat new feature….the only real issue i’ve had is tryng to create an ‘entry template with reusable blocks…’
if i click into any of my ‘reusable blocks’ from the ‘manage screen’, i don’t have the option to ‘copy to new draft’. i’d have to create a new entry and then insert my ‘header’ / ‘body’ / ‘footer’ templace blocks into the entry. the only reason i want to bypass the need to ‘create new entry’ is that i also want a ‘template title’ to appear every time i ‘copy to new draft’…usually that a really minor inconvenience, but i’ve been using ‘line break’ title plugins that only work with ‘classic editor’ and even then they don’t work very reliably in terms of inserting line breaks in wrong space. which means i often have to go in and out of the ‘edit screen’ to re-align the line breaks…

Hi @sacdawg, as mentioned, block templates are the feature that allows you to insert a predefined set of blocks into a post upon creation. There’s some details about that here:
Gutenberg Handbook | Block TemplatesIt’s quite code-centric unfortunately, and requires the knowledge of, or ability to find out what a particular block’s attributes are.
