Idiot question. Where can I find the Block ID of a modal?

Hey @Lefteris

Hope that helps:

Block ID

Found it! You must click the the class field.
Not very intuitive though.

Yes, thank you for your reply!

I agree with you, I’ve already seen this question a couple of times since this has been changed.

Adding a small icon next to the label could help. Maybe something similar to this:

But not sure if that makes sense though, as I’m still hoping for some tweak when the ID is toggled on, to have the ID visible somewhere when the class field is displayed.

Hi @Lefteris,

You may be interested in this feature request:

Maintain the toggle state of ID/Class visibility when selecting blocks

Currently whenever you click to a different block, the class/id panel switches back to class mode. If you are quickly adding IDs to multiple blocks this can be frustrating. It will be great to be able to maintain the last toggled state when selecting a new block.

As @Marius says:

Many of us would like to have the ID visible when it is set, feel free to vote on this if you believe it will be beneficial:

Add active class/id visualisation to new class/id toggle field

With the latest UI changes for classes/ids by default you can’t see the ID or it’s toggled state. @Louis, it will be very helpful to make the ID a little bit more discoverable and perhaps find a way to show it above the class (small) if it has been enabled (and vice versa). This only needs to be shown if the class/id is active. Example: [Screenshot 2023-06-02 at 16.13.03] This will help with issues such as the one discussed here: Thanks!

I agree that lack of anything in the UI to suggest that the ID is hiding behind the class field threw me off as well when they first implemented it. By a stroke of luck I had a wee temper tantrum and started clicking everywhere and I stumbled over the solution. I would just have display ‘ID Class’ with whatever the present state the class or ID text would be highlighted.
