    Hello,

    I am trying to save some meta data on a block used exclusively inside templates. But it seems like there is not data saved back to the database. Did I get something wrong from the documentation?

    
// functions.php
function myguten_register_post_meta() {
    register_post_meta('wp_template', 'test_meta_field', [
        'show_in_rest' => true,
        'single' => true,
        'type' => 'string',
        'default' => 'baz bar',
    ]);
}

add_action('init', 'myguten_register_post_meta');
    
// block edit render function
const [meta, setMeta] = useEntityProp('postType', 'wp_template', 'meta');

const updateMetaValue = () => {
    setMeta({
        test_meta_field: 'foobar test',
    });
};

console.log({meta});

useEffect(() => {
    console.log('run update meta');

    updateMetaValue();
}, []);

    I think the problem is related to nonce permissions. Not sure though.

    I ended up implementing it differently.

    // block.json
// ...
"attributes": {
  "teasers": {
    "type": "object",
    "default": {}
  }
},
// ...
    // edit.js
useEffect(() => {
    setAttributes({
        teasers,
    });
}, [teasers]);
    
// functions.php simplified
$templates = get_block_templates();

foreach ($templates as $template) {
    if ($template->slug === $slug) {
        return $template;
    }
}

$content = $template->content;
$blocks = parse_blocks($content);
$mainBlock = $blocks[0];

$teasers = $mainBlock['attrs']['teasers'];

var_dump($teasers);
