Block Editor: Hide Duplicate/Add before/Add after for templateLock contentOnly blocks#76894
Conversation
…ntentOnly blocks `insertBeforeBlock` and `insertAfterBlock` silently bail when the parent has any truthy templateLock, including 'contentOnly'. Meanwhile, `canInsertBlockType` explicitly exempts 'contentOnly' from that check, so the menu items appeared enabled but did nothing when clicked. Gate `canDuplicate` and `canInsertBlock` in `BlockActions` and `useQuickActionsCommands` when the parent block has `templateLock: "contentOnly"`, hiding Duplicate, Add before, and Add after from the options menu and command palette. This targets templateLock specifically and does not affect unsynced patterns, which set contentOnly editing mode via a different path.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Not sure, but I should check nested locked blocks just in case. Maybe a nothing burger

What
Hides "Duplicate", "Add before", and "Add after" from the block options menu and command palette when a block is inside a parent with
templateLock: "contentOnly".Fixes #76881
Why
How
getTemplateLockis called on the parent block insideBlockSettingsDropdownanduseQuickActionsCommands. When it returns'contentOnly', Duplicate, Add before, and Add after are hidden.This targets
templateLockspecifically and does not affect unsynced patterns: they entercontentOnlyediting mode viametadata.patternName, nottemplateLock, sogetTemplateLockreturnsfalsefor them and their menu items are unaffected.Testing Instructions
See #76881 for bug description and test HTML.
