How to get currently editing block name in Script Shell

Post by dfriasb » Sat Dec 07, 2019 3:59 pm

Dear all,

I can't find the way to get the Id of the block that I am editing right now. I have all the block Ids with these line:

Code: Select all

var blockIds = document.queryAllBlocks();
Then I should find "currently editing" block somehow...
And then apply:

Code: Select all

var block = document.queryBlock(blockId);
var blockName = block.getName();
where block is the blockId that I'm looking for.

I'm also asking myself if document variable definition line should be diferent. I'm writing this one:

Code: Select all

var document = this.getDocument();
or

Code: Select all

var document = this.getDocumentInterface();
Does exist any getBlockDocument like? I mean get document entities only inside some block...

Any help will be very welcomed!
