Placing blocks in Layout builder is tricky due to duplicate names in the Block

Created on 30 June 2025, 5 days ago

Problem/Motivation

When placing the Editorially blocks into a layout builder page, such as the dashboard, it is difficult to determine which block to choose.
This is due to several of the blocks having the same name or missing the block name.

Steps to reproduce

I was testing with Drupal CMS.
Install a standard Drupal CMS site.
Enable the accessibility tools recipe.
Visit the Dashboard.
Choose to edit the layout
Try to add the "Recent issues" block to the dashboard.
It is currently named "Editoria11y - Most frequent issues"
But choosing which one is tricky due to there being 2.
If you try to add the block "Pages with the most alerts", it is not displayed due to the missing block name (block_description).

Proposed resolution

Give the block a more useful description.

Remaining tasks

Review the PR

User interface changes

Blocks are renamed to make finding them easier in Layout builder.
