    Hi

    I have read over the Inner Blocks docs and wondered do you have examples of how the inner blocks are saved in a json string with the parent block?

    e.g. https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/mb-blocks/#block-data
    <!-- wp:meta-box/hero-content {"id":"block_jyqlhbauqz4jz51ahab","data":{"image":"10","title":"Hi, I’m Martin Green","subtitle":"WEB DEVELOPER \u0026 DESIGNER","content":"Sed ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusa ntium doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam, eaque ipsa quae ab illo inventore veritatis et quasi architecto beatae vitae dicta suntlo explica bo. Nemo enim ipsam voluptatem quia voluptas.","signature":"9","button_text":"Discover More","button_url":"#","background_color":"#f5f7f8"},"align":"wide"} /-->

    Also if i save the above innerblock using 'storage_type' => 'custom_table', then will it create multiple table rows or will it store as one database table row?

    thanks

    Hello,

    Only the custom field value will be saved to the custom table. The inner block content is saved to the post content normally.

    Here is the screenshot https://imgur.com/t6u09lW
    and data saved

    <!-- wp:meta-box/my-custom-block {"id":"mb-block-3e8ebc0b-2730-4e26-b6b1-d9bee2d81643","data":{"icon_meta":"bookmark","block_content":"\u003cp\u003eblock content here\u003c/p\u003e\n"}} -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>test paragraph</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Test Heading</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- /wp:meta-box/my-custom-block -->
