AutoCAD 2023: How to initiate “block editor” for blocks inserted in a table?

I couldn’t figure out how to initiate “block editor” for blocks inserted in a table as the “block editor” doesn’t appear when right clicking the block inserted in a table

If you know the name, I believe you can select it from the list inside the block editor. (Sorry, I can't test ATM.)

As an option, just make a new insertion of the block and edit from there.

I got the answer. The “design center” tool offer accessing blocks inserted in a table

Whats?

Pick a cell to know a block name, hit BEDIT icon or command, pick a block by its name to edit...

As per the screenshots below, the “block editor” icon on the “block” group initiates the “edit block definition” but not “block editor”

Pardon my ignorance, but how is it different? It's just a different label, both edit a block definition.

Sure, you need to hit OK to get into the Block Editor.

Right. Pressing OK does initiate the “block editor” as per the screenshots below.

However, both approaches fails to initiate the “block editor” by directly right clicking the block inserted in a table the same way it works when the block is not inserted in a table

If you do these edits often, you can use this LISP. Just pick a block when no table is active.

(defun c:TBEdit ( / e)
  (if (setq e (cadr (reverse (last (nentsel "Select block within a table: ")))))
    (command "_.bedit" (cdr (assoc 2 (entget e)))))
  (princ)
  )
