Insert core blocks without inner blocks?

[ghost]

Hey,

I recently wondered if that is possible in some way? E.g., I'd like to insert a Heading block into my custom block without using the Innerblocks component.

Thanks!

Hi @dnnsjsk! That's not possible since InnerBlocks is the mechanism to insert blocks into another block. What stops you from using InnerBlocks? If you wish to only insert one block, it's possible to lock the template: https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/tutorials/block-tutorial/nested-blocks-inner-blocks/
