Currently both importer and exporter of layout_builder only supports InlineBlock:
ContentExporter.php:
foreach ($components as $component) {
if ($component->getPlugin() instanceof InlineBlock) {
$configuration = $component->toArray()['configuration'];
if (isset($configuration['block_revision_id'])) {
$block = $block_storage->loadRevision($configuration['block_revision_id']);
$block_list[] = $this->doExportToArray($block);
}
}
}
ContentImporter.php
foreach ($section_components as $component) {
if ($component->getPlugin() instanceof InlineBlock) {
$configuration = $component->toArray()['configuration'];
if (isset($configuration['block_revision_id']) && isset($imported_blocks[$configuration['block_revision_id']])) {
// Replace the old revision id with a new revision id.
$configuration['block_revision_id'] = $imported_blocks[$configuration['block_revision_id']];
$component->setConfiguration($configuration);
}
}
}
Other block types, like blocks from custom library, fields or extra fields are silently skipped.
1. Create a node with custom layout.
2. Add a block (such as View block).
3. Export the node.
Expected: the block is visible in exported YML.
Actual: the block is not in YML.
Either implement generic way of exporting blocks added to layout regardless of their type or implement plugin manager for different block types.
Implement + tests.
None.
New API for adding block types.
The YML file format would change but should remain backwards compatible.
Closed: works as designed

Not all content is available!
It's likely this issue predates Contrib.social: some issue and comment data are missing.
@abramm all blocks is part of base64 layout string. Only inline blocks are exported individually because it's a content entity
That was likely an issue with my setup or something; I don't mind closing the issue.
