acf/save_post use on block

I am trying to update a repeater subfield with a number so that the repeaters will be less confusing. This works great if I am not using the gutenberg editor and it is not a block.

I want to be able to create a block that has this functionality.

Here is my code:

function slider_count($post){

		$block_post_id = get_the_ID();
		if( have_rows('slides') ){
			$count = 0;
			while( have_rows('slides') ){
				the_row();
				$count++;
				$slider_count = 'Slider Number '.$count.'';
				
				update_sub_field( 'slider_number', $slider_count );
			}
		}
	}

	add_action('acf/save_post', 'slider_count', 20);

I think part of the problem is that when using gutenberg editor, the page does not refresh when you update or publish the post.

Any idea how I can get it to work?
