    Hi, I’ve created a custom post type (projects) (based on posts) with the pods framework.

    I use the gutenberg editor with custom ACF blocks and have set a default block template for pages and posts using this code:

    $page_default_template = array(
    array( 'acf/content-block-entry-header-minimalistic' ),
    array( 'acf/content-block-text-introduction' ),
    array( 'acf/content-block-text-general' )
    );
    $post_type_object = get_post_type_object( 'post' );
    $post_type_object->template = $page_default_template;
    $post_type_object = get_post_type_object( 'page' );
    $post_type_object->template = $page_default_template;

    This works like a charm for pages and posts, but I cannot get this to work for my new custom post type. There seems no post_type_object for projects. When I do a var_dump of get_post_types() there is only the _pods_template post type, no other pods post types or projects post type.

    How can I apply the block template to my projects post type?

    This will work if the template is on an action and priority which occurs after the custom post types have been initialized. For example, on init at priority 20:

    <?php

    add_action(
    	'init',
    	function() {
    		$block_template = [
    			[
    				'core/paragraph',
    				[
    					'placeholder' => implode(
    						PHP_EOL,
    						[
    							'’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves',
    							'    Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:',
    						]
    					),
    				],
    			],
    			[
    				'core/paragraph',
    				[
    					'placeholder' => implode(
    						PHP_EOL,
    						[
    							'All mimsy were the borogoves,',
    							'    And the mome raths outgrabe.',
    						]
    					),
    				],
    			],
    		];
    		foreach( [ 'post', 'page', 'project' ] as $post_type ) {
    			get_post_type_object( $post_type )->template = $block_template;
    		}
    	},
    	20
    );

    …results in a default Block Editor with two paragraphs containing placeholder text on post types post, page, and project, where project is configured by Pods.

    Thank you, the priority fixed it for me!
