Retrieving Blocks from Composer Fields
Permalink
Hi All
I am hoping you can help me out, I cannot find any documentation anywhere to describe what I am doing. I have a page type 'Project', which I have added some composer fields to by going into Page Types, then Edit Form, most are just custom attributes which I can retrieve fine, however one of them is a Content Block which I have added a custom label called 'Description'.
I am building a custom template and I want to be able to retrieve the content of this block and render it (or just render the block itself) but I cannot find anyway of doing this.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Many thanks
David

This link explains how to get and display Content block contents programmatically:

If you are using multiple Content blocks, all of them will be displayed. This approach does not allow you to grab a specific Content block.
I am wondering if there might be a way to retrieve a specific Content block using the custom label assigned to it in Composer.
