How can I save the meta values from the gutenberg block as a meta value?
Is it possible? That would be very nice, becouse you can use it to filter a post type or similar.
Thanks.

Or, Could I use meta values in template block?
Hi,
Unfortunately, blocks can save data only to its own. The post meta allows only 1 pair of key-value, but you can add many blocks in a post. So, if that’s possible, that might be confusing.
In order to use meta values in a block template, you can simple register meta fields normally with Meta Box, and use helper functions
rwmb_metato get them to show.So, I can use rwmb_meta in template block?
Would you add in your roadmap to save meta values as well?

Yes, you can.

As I explain in the previous reply, this doesn’t work because you can add multiple instances same block. If one field in each blog has different values, then there’s no way to decide which value will be save in the post meta.
How can i use rwmb_meta? Could you give me an example?
What are the limitations for template.php? I’m trying to use rwmeta and WordPress Functions like the_excerpt, the_post_thumbnail, etc. But they does not work.
Hi, please see this video: https://www.loom.com/share/80fa3ff5dc6149a9bd2cb640a62aa69c. I demonstrate how to use
rwmb_meta,rwmb_the_valuein the block render callback.Just a note: when you use these helper functions, don’t forget to use the parameter
$post_id. If you want to use other WordPress functions, remember to use it as well, or you’ll get the wrong info when preview the block in the edit screen.Nice! that’s all that I need!
Congratulations for the plugin.
