Nested Layout Builder Blocks Trigger Frontend Theme on AJAX Calls

Open on Drupal.org →
Created on 12 January 2025, 2 months ago

Problem/Motivation

When using nested blocks in Layout Builder, any AJAX call results in the frontend theme being applied instead of the admin theme. This causes visual inconsistencies and breaks the expected administrative user interface.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Enable Layout Builder on a content type and configure it to use nested blocks.
  2. Add nested blocks within a Layout Builder page.
  3. Trigger an AJAX call within the admin interface.
  4. Observe that the frontend theme is applied instead of the admin theme during the AJAX call response.

Proposed resolution

Ensure that AJAX responses respect the administrative theme context when nested blocks are used in Layout Builder. This may involve: verifying and enforcing theme negotiation logic during AJAX requests.
