Why does a `Slideshow` block in a template not appear in a blog post?

    A few months ago, I asked whether I need a second template for a blog post with a Slideshow block instead of a Featured Image block. Apparently it is not possible without a second, customized template.

    Therefore, I have installed the Jetpack plugin to have a Slideshow block. After that, I created a second template called Single Posts with Slideshow. I copied the HTML code of the Single Posts template and pasted it into my Single Posts with Slideshow template. In the Single Posts with Slideshow template, I have deleted the Featured Image block and added a Slideshow block instead.

    Then it was time for a new blog post with a slideshow. I created a new blog post and selected Single Posts with Slideshow as the template. To my surprise, there was still an option to select a Featured image in the right-hand settings menu. The Slideshow block did not appear as content, nor as an option in the right-hand settings menu.

    How is it possible to add images to the Slideshow block in a blog post using my Single Posts with Slideshow template?
