Unable to load block into composer

Permalink
Steps:
- Created a page type
- Added a few pages
- Added a new Content block to the page type
- Added the Composer Block to the page type defaults

Now I want to edit an *existing page*. This results in an "Unable to load block into composer" error. The block doesn't exist yet, and afaik there's no way to add it to existing pages.

Is there a way to fix this? (I'm thinking of the c56 option "Set up on child pages")

Hi A3020,

I believe you placed a regular Content block onto the page type defaults page. This block is not connected to Composer. To connect the Content block from Composer, use the Composer Control block to add it to the page type defaults page.

I placed a Composer Control block, not a regular Content block.

I've also checked with the latest version in the develop branch. When I added a new composer field to the blog post page type and edited an existing blog post, I got the same 'error'.

Do you have more ideas / suggestions?
