columns__wrap applying padding incorrectly

The plugin overrides if you leave the fields empty, but if you put 0, then padding: 0. If I’m not mistaken.
I think 20px is the default
And if the field is empty, then the default value is set.

Hi @zabavljaev, unfortunately your response misses the point.

I don’t want the padding to be 0. I also don’t want it to be 20px. I want it to inherit my custom CSS. As these styles are applied to the ID of the particular section, it becomes problematic.

Hello @lydenyardley,

This is an issue with default values, We have already added this to our bug list and are looking forward to resolving it at the earliest.

Your patience is highly appreciated.

Hi team,

Can you provide an update on this please?

Hello @lydenyardley,

It is an issue with Gutenberg as it doesn’t save the empty values. Gutenberg replaces the empty values with the default values. We have already opened a ticket with them. You can view the updates here – https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/14629

Unfortunately, We can’t do anything since it is a Gutenberg issue. We will try to provide them inputs to get this fixed.

We really appreciate your patience with this issue.

Thanks – back over to you to respond to the Gutenberg people. They’re awaiting your checks and response.

Hello again,

It looks like you need to follow up with the Gutenberg tegam on this one – they closed your issue as they were awaiting more information.

Thanks,
Lyden

Hey,

I do agree with what they are intending to say here.

It is intentional that if a value is reset to its default, it would not be assigned in the generated attributes of a block. It is done this way so that, for example, the default could be changed in the future and all existing content which does not have a specific value assigned would automatically begin using this new default.

I think we should keep it the way it is.

We might need to come up with a mediator solution to this problem. We would love to hear your views on this.

Also, my team will brainstorm and try coming up with some solution. We appreciate your patience.

Hi @brainstormteam,

It seems to me (unless I’m mistaken), that the gutenberg team and I agree on the way it should work, and that your team is doing something additional to the default behavior…

The quoted section you included in your last comment is what I’m expecting too! Specifically:

if a value is reset to its default, it would not be assigned in the generated attributes of a block

Your plugin DOES assign values to the block… it shouldn’t in order that changes to default values can be inherited by

all existing content which does not have a specific value assigned

Does that make sense?

Your defaults should be applied in your stylesheet, and not to the block attributes unless

Hi team,

This issue still exists, even after checking your latest update that mentions swapping IDs for classes.

Please can you update on this?

Hello team,

Following up for progress on this. It’s been open over a year now and I’ve been very patient. Your plugin is not working according to WordPress standards – see my specific comments and highlights above.

Thanks,
Lyden

Hello @lydenyardley

Like we mentioned earlier, the Gutenberg editor does not store the default values. The block will have a different view in frontend and backend if we removed this functionality.

If you want to set it to 0, you can set it from the block options. We are helpless here since the Gutenberg framework provides this type of functionality.
