Plotting blocks with viewport transparency

Trying to get blocks to plot transparent for only 1 viewport.  Using viewport transparency works for all objects in applicable layer except blocks that have been created using "0" layer. I cannot use transparency by block since the blocks must show in other layouts without transparency.  Also cannot re-create blocks using different layer since the source file is kept on network for all to use.  Is there a way to plot blocks with the vp transparency of its current layer despite having created the block in another layer?

Each viewport can have unique layer settings if all your objects are set to BYLAYER for everything. Be inside the viewport then start LAYER command and use only the columns the VP in the name.

For whatever reason the transparency seems to be working for blocks today.  Love that setting.  Glad to have it working properly again.
