Wp-calypso: Editor's Notes Block: Content not being saved on drafts or when publishing

Created on 16 Mar 2020 · 5Comments · Source: Automattic/wp-calypso

The _Editor's Notes Block_ (p4TIVU-93E-p2) currently loads in the editor and allows content to be added, but when the post/page/reusable block is added to gets saved or published, the content of the block is not preserved.

To Reproduce:

Create a new post, page, or reusable block.
Add content, including at least one Editor's Notes block.
In that block add some text.
Save or publish your content.
Exit the editor, and view your content. The Editor's Notes will not be visible on the front end, as expected. In the case of a Reusable Block, the Editor's Notes block will load, but without any content.
Return to the editor. The Editor's Notes block is still present, but empty.

I tested this on posts, pages, and reusable blocks, both with auto and manual saves on drafts as well as published content and found the content missing across the board.

I first noticed this on a Reusable Block I was setting up as a template for recurring posts, and wanted to include instructions.
