Theme sections seem to require multiple types of blocks that are not a “@app” before it will allow you to add an app block.
For instance, this following code will only display an “Add image” option for a section. It will not allow you to add an app block to the section. Examples below.
NOTE:
- We are seeing this with the Dawn theme
- This behavior seems like a bug
{%- for block in section.blocks -%}
{% render block %}
{%- endfor -%}
{% schema %}
{
"name": "MY SECTION",
"blocks": [
{
"type": "@app"
},
{
"name": "Image",
"type": "image"
}
],
"presets": [
{
"name": "MY SECTION"
}
]
}
{% endschema %}
The only way I’m able to provide the ability to add an app block is if I provide multiple non-“@app” type blocks.
{%- for block in section.blocks -%}
{% render block %}
{%- endfor -%}
{% schema %}
{
"name": "MY SECTION",
"blocks": [
{
"type": "@app"
},
{
"name": "Image",
"type": "image"
},
{
"name": "IGNORE ME",
"type": "IGNORE_ME"
}
],
"presets": [
{
"name": "MY SECTION"
}
]
}
{% endschema %}
This behavior seems like a bug to me. Can someone from Shopify help or provide a way to report this?
