Gutenberg Conflict When Expermental Disable TinyMCE Feature Enabled

Hi there,

I have been banging my head against the keyboard trying to determine why I was unable to add a “Message” under Forms > Form > Notifications. I saw the message label but no editor appeared:

Turns out, this is due to the Gutenberg Plugin’s “Disable TinyMCE and Classic block” setting:

When I disable this experiment the message field returns, this setting is browser/OS agnostic

The two solutions I can think of is to mark the notification screen as requiring the classic editor, or upgrading it to the block editor. I do see a function in the Gutenberg plugin:

github.com

WordPress/gutenberg/blob/ae7df52f58baf6289c58b5da76a884ff400cfa3f/lib/experimental/disable-tinymce.php#L10-L20


      
          /**
           * Render a variable that we'll use to declare that the editor will need the classic block.
           */
          function gutenberg_declare_classic_block_necessary() {
          	if ( ! gutenberg_post_being_edited_requires_classic_block() ) {
          		return;
          	}
          	echo '<script type="text/javascript">window.wp.needsClassicBlock = true;</script>';
          }
          add_action( 'admin_footer', 'gutenberg_declare_classic_block_necessary' );

For now I’ve disabled this experiment but as it was a tricky one to debug I wanted to report it here to get it on your roadmap.

Thanks for the information Brooke. I will report that information to the development team.

I increased your membership level, so you should be able to post multiple links and images now…
