There was a problem hiding this comment.
This code fires an error for the custom block type. I'm unsure of the best way to handle this, so I just copied the code from core for now to avoid the error while testing.

I also need to make sure you can only enable overrides for custom blocks — I haven't added that handling yet. |

I am not sure about adding a functionality only for custom blocks. I don't know if there is precedence for this. What is the reason for not supporting dynamic core blocks as well? I assume the same problems core blocks have will be faced by custom blocks as well. Additionally, I am a bit concerned about using the |
Hmm, I don't see why we couldn't offer this functionality for certain core dynamic blocks as well. It would depend on the block. I looked at the Search block, for example, and it seems like a good candidate — it doesn't source attributes from the markup, renders all of its HTML based on the For reference, here are the blocks — both dynamic and not — with attributes that have the
Yes as seen above, there are many different kinds of attribute with Perhaps we can start experimenting with agnostic handling for locking the attributes, try migrating a few core blocks over to using that handling, and see what we can learn. |

Great exploration. I like how you are checking how to go extreme and automatically enable support for Block Bindings for all attributes that define |

It appears that customizing inspector controls for synced pattern overrides is currently not possible. I think customizing the UI would be a key part of making this PR a complete feature. We can consider including both of these pieces as part of the iteration for WordPress 6.8. |
There's an experimental PR exploring how to lock attributes, which would be another part of making this PR a complete feature. |

An early experiment exploring enabling synced pattern overrides for blocks that have attributes with the
role: contentproperty.See issue #64870
Must be used in conjunction with core PR WordPress/wordpress-develop#7658
Alternative to #66266
What?
It enables synced pattern overrides for custom blocks with the
role: contentproperty:Why?
We'd like to begin exploring expanding block bindings compatibility.
How?
For the UI, for now it just enables the overrides for any block that has
role: content. To do: Restrict this to just custom blocks.It also adds some handling on the PHP side to ensure the overrides are rendered.
Testing Instructions
