    I have problem with attached block (also with other similar blocks with field). This block include field in block attribute. Works fine if I copy and paste this block. When I drag and drop from Tool Pallete field disappeary. Is it any way to fix this problem?

    What happens if you drag the Block from the Palette and then Explode it?

    I wanted to make sure that it was not a nested block.

    BTW - The Field stays visible when dropped from the Palette here.

    May be You can try make new block, when You insert Your block. That new block include in tool palette and there for that block define to explode that block, when insert from tool palette

    Nope. No field when drop from pallete, just value of field. I think problem is field refer to object and I don't know why when drop from pallet the new block is like a new object.... something like that...

    Thats the problem. A block cannot refer to itself when it is inserted. Copying works fine

    I create field in block editor space, not in drawing space
