Description
Simply select a block in the WordPress editor, toggle on Dynamic Content, and select the custom field (aka post meta key) that contains the value you’d like to display. If that value changes in your database, it will automatically reflect the change on the frontend of your site.
The following blocks are currently supported:
* Paragraph
* Heading
* Verse

FAQ

Does this work with ACF (Advanced Custom Fields)?
-
Absolutely! Works with regular custom fields or ACF.

Can I have just a section of text dynamic?

Have been looking forward to this kind of simple custom field feature to pull in field data to style with block settings. Hope to see continued support added to buttons, featured images, list block, post content/excerpt and query loop(custom field would need to be for the query postids). Could site options become available in the future? Also, manual input of meta keys if none are detected because they haven't been created yet.
