  Hello,

  I use the quote block a lot, and usually when I click on it, it creates a quote and citation. I tried to use it today and it just adds another regular block. What is happening? Please let me know. Thank you!

  I’m not sure what’s going on with it, but I have lost the option to add a citation to a quote.

  I’ve tried writing a blog post today with a quote block and I’m also not getting the ability to add a citation from within the visual editor. I’ve opened up other posts that have it and the visual editor in those posts do still have the citation, but are displaying them as part of the quote (previously they were visibly distinguished). If I change to the code editor, it does still have the cite tag around the citation. It looks like there has been a change to how the citation is displayed within a live post too – definitely not as good as it used to be styled.

  Looks like there has been an update to the quote block that has gone wrong. Any chance this can be reverted please?

  Ditto. No option to add a citation, only a paragraph block appears. All of the support documentation seems to indicate that the option to add a citation should be there. Am I missing something, a new change in the block format?

  I found the same thing and for me it had changed a bit. It doesn’t automatically offer the option of adding a citation anymore. Instead, if I select the quote block (not the paragraph block within the quote block), a ‘quill’ icon appears next to the text alignment option. Click that and it adds the citation as before.

  Thank you for sharing feedback about the Quote Block functionality.

  For reference, here is how the Quote Block currently works (and how you can add citations) https://share.cleanshot.com/fsV4K3fm
