Using `blocks` twice

The CMS Questions
1

Heya

I tried looking into it, but couldn’t find an answer :frowning:

It seems, that I can’t use a type: blocks element, within the same blueprint, twice?
Why is that so? Or is there a way around it?

In my frontend I have a layout which has a sidebar (listing blog posts).
I would want to limit, which block elements can be used next to the sidebar (the won’t “fit” otherwise).
Unsetting those would have been my idea.
Below I would like to have another blocks element, but here the user can access all blocks (as we will clear the sidebar / are in a different div-wrap)

But is seems only one blocks element is loaded in the panel?

Any ideas or suggestions are much appreciated!

Best

No, you can use as many blocks fields as makes sense.

My guess is that you use the same field key for your two blocks fields, while field/section keys must be unique.

you are right!! my bad, should’ve tested it cleanly
My mistake was using fields and there was a mixup and both fields were named the same

thanks again for the ultra quick reply!!
