Hello,
I’d like to force to use the block in a registered post type. I can use template argument in register_post_type, but it seems that is not working.

Is it possible?

Hello,

I’m not sure what you meant. If a post has block editor enabled, then all the registered blocks are available. Or did you mean to set the default content for a post of a specific post type? I found a post on this topic, but not sure if that works for Gutenberg.

Hello in register_post_type, you can have block templates. It should be nice to have as default the block in a post type:

‘template’ => array( ‘layout/name-block’ ),
‘template_lock’ => ‘all’,

But I’m not sure which values use in template.

Regards.

I got it.

The custom blocks registered with MB Blocks have id meta-box/{$block_id}. So you can define your post type template like:
```
'template' => ['meta-box/hero', 'meta-box/team-member']
```
