AutoCAD- Callout Block - change Block

How do I change the Callout Block option when placing sheet views?

Step 1 : When I first place a callout for a sheet view I have the option to "Select Blocks".(see image 3)

Step 2: I normally select multple blocks and use as required from then on(see image 2)

Step 3: I messed up and only selected one block type on one of my sheets and now I can't get the blocks I want. (see Image 1)

Do I have to recreate the sheet, or is there a way to amend the options?

Thank you for the repy.

Yes, they are in the template.

Since this post, I have created a new file and copied the drawings over and started over. When it gave me the option to choose a block, I added all my options to ensure this doesn't happen again. I had to create all 34 views again and place them which was a little frustrating 😞

The problem was I only chose one block option the first time and that forced any views I created to be placed with only that one block. What I am looking for is a way to change, or add other block options at a later date if need be.

I hope I explained that well?
