Feature Request: ACF Pro – Blocks Inline Edit in Gutenberg

  • Hi,
    I really like ACFs ability to create blocks very easy.

    There is only one disadvantage: The block input has to be done in the sidebar.

    This is not optimal because the sidebar is small (I created a script to make it larger by clicking a button but this only helps a little) an all other blocks handle it with direct editing of the block. So the user gets confused with inconstistent block editing.

    Are there any plans to rebuild the way the block editing works?

    I would appreciate this very much.

    Hello,

    Thanks for the feedback! You can actually edit ACF Block Types fields inside the block by using the Mode: Auto setting instead of Mode: Preview. If you’re using the ACF Extended Block Type UI, you’ll find it here: https://i.imgur.com/iy828ey.png

    If you’re using the native ACF Register Block Type, then you’ll find that setting in the documentation: https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/acf_register_block_type/

    mode
    (String) (Optional) The display mode for your block. Available settings are “auto”, “preview” and “edit”. Defaults to “preview”. auto: Preview is shown by default but changes to edit form when block is selected. preview: Preview is always shown. Edit form appears in sidebar when block is selected. edit: Edit form is always shown.

    Note. When in “preview” or “edit” modes, an icon will appear in the block toolbar to toggle between modes.

    Hope it helps!

    Have a nice day.

    Regards.
