Tell us what you are trying to do?
I am using the posts block on a page, but I want to show the content and not just the_excerpt.
I thought I could use a function with "add_filter( 'the_excerpt',...". to modify the excerpt that is rendered by the toolset block. but although the filter works, I can not verify that I am in the correct block, since the global $post variable is not set in the toolset block code. Instead, a private post variable is used, which I can not accessed.
If you were using the_post() with wp_reset_postdata() to clear your loop, I would not have this problem. Honestly, I am surprised you are not doing that, since it was designed to resolve just this situation.
Is there any documentation that you are following?
WP Codex
Is there a similar example that we can see?

What is the link to your site?
hidden link - i need to alter what is happening in the announcements section.
Hello,
You can try with [wpv-post-excerpt] shortcode, it can retrieve values from post content when post except is empty, and the_excerpt filter hook will apply to it too.

You can get current post ID with WP function get_the_ID():

With above post ID, you can get other post information, for example:
