Posted July 3, 20177 yr HTML templates can utilize $record but HTML blocks on the same page cannot? If that's correct, is there a proper solution to obtain the $record variable in a block on a database record page.
July 3, 20177 yr How could a custom html block know what is $record if you don't specify the variable yourself?

I thought blocks just held code that would get placed wherever I used {block="block_name"}. Some HTML Template Code [Injected Block HTML Code] The rest of that HTML Template Code Though that does not seem to be the case.
