Useful Future Blocks … ?

    Correct me if I’m wrong … but a block to do each of the following doesn’t seem to be available with Gutenberg “out of the box”.

    1. Taxonomy Term Block
      This block would work the same way as the “Categories” or “Tags” blocks but would allow you to choose a custom taxonomy to display the post’s assigned terms in that taxonomy. This would be most useful in a single post template to show a posts custom taxonomy terms dynamically.
    2. Attached Image Gallery Block
      This block would automatically produce an image gallery from all images that are attached to a post. This would be most useful in a single post template as it would allow you to show an image gallery dynamically. Actually this could be an option of the existing Gallery block before any images are chosen?

    What do you think?

    Should these feature requests be made via GitHub?

    Hey @domainsupport those are great suggestions.

    Taxonomy Term Block
    This block would work the same way as the “Categories” or “Tags” blocks but would allow you to choose a custom taxonomy to display the post’s assigned terms in that taxonomy.

    From what I understand this should currently already possible. If the taxonomy is registered – it should automatically create a new block named after the taxonomy, which works in the same way as the ‘Tags’ or ‘Categories’ block.

    It does seem like there’s currently a bug stopping it from being generated in some instances, though.

    Attached Image Gallery Block
    This block would automatically produce an image gallery from all images that are attached to a post. 

    This is one I’d definitely recommend suggesting in the Github repo. You’d be able to do that here:

    OK! Brilliant, found it. Thank you!

    Done! Again, thank you! https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/53289
