Nestable property is not working on the first bloq field in a channel. See attached screenshots for all the possible test cases I have attempted. The value of $this->settings is empty after the $controller->displayField call. Not sure what is in that function that causes the issue.

$nestable = isset($this->settings['nestable']) ? $this->settings['nestable'] : 'n';
            $viewData = $controller->displayField(
                $entryId,
                $blockDefinitions,
                $blocks
            );

Sorry, I cannot share a development environment. If you need any other info, let me know.

As far as nesting goes, I’m unable to replicate it. Two fields on the page seem to allow nesting just fine.

I am seeing an issue where blocks in the 2nd field are not saving, which I thought I fixed a couple versions ago.

The issue with the 2nd field not saving is related to Publisher, not Bloqs, so I don’t think it is related to your issue.

I would suggest checking your JS console to see if there are any errors.

There was no error in JS console. JS is working as expected as it is getting value for ‘fieldSettingNestable’ as ‘n’;

I have further tracked down the issue:
Maybe it is related to EE or configuration: On file, system\ee\legacy\libraries\api\Api_channel_fields.php Line 350

$this->field_types[$field_type]->_init(array(
    'settings'  => $settings,
    'field_id'  => $field_id,
    'field_name' => $field_name
   ));

Values of
$field_type = ‘bloqs’
$settings = array(0)
$field_id = false
$field_name = false

$this->field_types[$field_type] already has proper values. The _init function resets them. I will follow up with EE support to find out the cause.

The above call originates from the file system/user/addons/bloqs/libraries/EEBlocks/Controller/FieldTypeManager.php
There was an exception for blocks. I added bloqs to that exception and everything seems to work as expected.

// the module can't load any views. So, don't let setup_handler be
        // called on blocks.
        unset($fieldtypes['blocks']);
        unset($fieldtypes['bloqs']);

So you’re saying adding that second unset() line fixed the issue?

Yes and so far I have not noticed any side effects. I have been adding new bloq fields and made lots of changes to existing entries.

Interesting. Not entirely sure what the issue was but it works for me too with that change. I’ll include that change in the next release. Thanks for investigating. If anything else comes up just let me know.
