 * Hi, thanks again for this great plugin.
 * I would like to know how complex would it be to add the preview image feature
   from the flexible content to the acf/block?
 * I know that there is no easy way to implement this and was wondering if you could
   implement it in your plugin?
 * Here are some links that discuss this:

 * Thanks for you help.

 * Hello,
 * Thanks for the feedback! I’m glad you enjoy ACF Extended 🙂
 * Well that’s an interesting suggestion, It looks like ACF already documented something
   about that here: [https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/acf_register_block_type/](https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/acf_register_block_type/)
   in the “Adding block previews 🌄” section.
 * One of the forum user “phip” also posted an interesting use case here: [https://support.advancedcustomfields.com/forums/topic/register-block-preview-image-with-acf_register_block_type/](https://support.advancedcustomfields.com/forums/topic/register-block-preview-image-with-acf_register_block_type/).
 * The ACF Block Type Preview is more complex than just “displaying an image”, it
   allow developers to actually pass “demo” data to correctly fill the Block Type
   output. But I guess I could add some sort of “bypass” from the UI, so the user
   would be able to simply upload & set an image.
 * I added the feature request in the Trello Board: [https://trello.com/c/I0whDmhs/338-dynamic-block-types-add-image-preview-setting](https://trello.com/c/I0whDmhs/338-dynamic-block-types-add-image-preview-setting)
 * I’m quite busy working on ACF Extended’s future right now tho, so I can’t give
   you any ETA unfortunately. If you find something useful in the meantime, just
   let me know!
 * Have a nice day!
 * Regards.
