Block Grammar & Markup
<!-- wp:post-template /-->
Ancestor
Optional. Type: Array.
A block with an ancestor can be placed as an inner block of the ancestor. Either as a direct child block of the ancestor, or nested.
That allows, for example, to place a ‘Comment Content’ block inside a ‘Column’ block, as long as ‘Column’ is somewhere within a ‘Comment Template’ block.
In comparison to the parent property blocks that specify their ancestor can be placed anywhere in the subtree whilst blocks with a specified parent need to be direct children.
