Holy crap. I'm amazed at how the Gutenberg team managed to screw up the query block design so badly. Pretty much the first thing that most builders / designers of content sites will be a columnar grid of post content with featured images. The query block makes this impossible. I have no idea how they managed to fuck this up so spectacularly.
I'd reach out to ACF there as I'm not quite sure they have built in compatibility just yet. I do know that more advanced filters are being explored in this GitHub issue too in case it helps: github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/30706
Have you gotten anywhere with this? Sadly I have been having to skip using the query block on many designs because I need to show a custom field (via shortcode) inside the query too, and can't get it to work.
Hi Anne, Excellent video. It sounds like you will be able to add custom post types. Will you be able to use it to pick a few specific posts/pages or only alphabetical, latest, or those with categories/tags/keywords? Thanks in advance!
Thanks so much for watching! Everything you asked about is on the horizon but not yet available in the latest version of Gutenberg (11.6 at the time of writing this). Here are a few issues where you can see this future work being discussed: github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/30706 & github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/31390#issuecomment-855373896 Lots to look forward to :)

Hey there! Can you share more on Gutenberg’s GitHub repo and tag @annezazu? I’d love to learn more.
Thanks for the video! How can I add ACF fields inside of the query loop? I tried the acf shortcode but it doesn’t work.

@@meyne no I didn’t. I used a shortcode instead 😅
