Hi Tom,

I was expirimenting with the same thing as i couldnt find information about this.

But for example:

First You create a custom block via acf_register_block:

acf_register_block(
array(
	'name'              => 'blockname',
	'title'             => __('title'),
	'description'       => __('description')
		
));

Then you can take the name of the acf_block ‘blockname’ and use it as following in your post type template:

	$post_type_object->template = array(
		array( 'acf/blockname', array() ),		
	);

Note: If your blockname contains a space or a underscore, acf renames this to a dash, so ‘block_name’ becomes ‘block-name’.

Hope this helps!
