ACF Blocks UI to be more like native blocks

Iain Poulson

When editing fields in ACF Blocks in the block editor, the UI for inputs can be different from the native WP block settings. This can be confusing to clients.

I know this is a fairly old thread, but this has come up for us several times as we've used ACF Blocks more and more. The ability to add, for instance, a Color Palette component (https://wordpress.github.io/gutenberg/?path=/docs/components-colorpalette--docs) that can be used for anything in the render template would be amazing!

Trevor Robertson

Yes please! Absolutely would take ACF Blocks to the next level and to compete with some of the other field / block plugins out there that allow a more native experience.

Warren

Yes I think you mean adding Gutenberg editor alongside WYSIWYG etc, as per attached.

Warren: No, this idea is more about ACF Blocks and making the editing experience of a custom block created with ACF as similar as possible to native blocks. I think you're thinking of https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/feedback/p/add-gutenberg-block-editor-field-type
