This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
I am trying to add a block type called "Open Sheet Music Display" as a custom field within a custom post type (music-styles). I attempted using a WYSIWYG and multi-line custom field, but they do not allow adding blocks. It seems I can only use Gutenberg blocks outside of custom fields.
Solution:
Blocks are a native feature of the WordPress editor and cannot be used within custom fields. Toolset cannot recreate block functionality inside custom fields because custom fields are standard WordPress features that do not support block content. You can only use blocks inside the main content editor.
This is the technical support forum for Toolset - a suite of plugins for developing WordPress sites without writing PHP.
Everyone can read this forum, but only Toolset clients can post in it. Toolset support works 6 days per week, 19 hours per day.

Tell us what you are trying to do?
I have a block type called Open Sheet Music Display, for the sake of consistency while creating a custom post type (music-styles), I would like to have a custom field names music-notation that uses that block type. It appears that I can only use Gutenberg outside the custom fields.
I've tried adding a wysiwyg field and a multi line, but they won't allow me to add a block.
Is there any documentation that you are following?
