Problem with composer and page types
Permalink 1 user found helpful
I have found a problem with using composer and page types with existing pages (5.6.0.1).
I have some existing pages that I have added a content block to by adding it to the defaults of the page type and using set up on child pages to get it on to the existing web pages. I have this block set up to be edited using composer.
I open a page that uses this page type in composer and edit the block and publish the changes.
When I check the other pages using this page type I find that all instances have been updated with the content from the page I was editing.
This does not seem to happen on new pages that are created after the block was added to the page type.

I'm having this same problem. After working on a block in a page type's defaults - then including it in composer and setting it up on all child pages. It instead becomes a static block that displays the same content across all child pages. When I select "edit page in composer", and I edit the block which should only be a unique instance for that page (as I set it up on page defaults), it gets set the same across all child pages.
I am having the very same issue here. Editing in composer is updating the Page Default block, and thus changing it across all child pages it is setup on.
