Editing contents of custom block referenced in paragraph type, doesn't reflect changes in node where displayed So, I have a Custom Block type, let's call it Sidebar Links Block. In an Article, we have a Sidebar paragraph type that allows quite a few different entities, one of which is the Article Sidebar Links paragraph type.

The Article Sidebar Links ¶ type (which is one of the fields of our Article type) contains a single entity reference to a Custom Block type, the aforementioned Sidebar Links Block.

If I change, say, the Title of the Sidebar Links Block, that change is not reflected in the paragraph type's output. In other words, when viewing an Article where we changed the contents of one of the referenced Custom Block types, it still shows the old contents, before the change.

Even clearing the Drupal caches in the usual way, does nothing. What I have to do, instead, is:


Edit the Article
Move any ¶ type up or down, then move it back (this triggers the form's JS that detects changes, allowing you to re-save with essentially no real changes)
Re-save the Article


This finally causes the Title to update in the Article Sidebar Links ¶ type where the Sidebar Links Block is referenced and displayed.

Is there any way around this? Currently, whenever we update a Custom Block, we have to apply this manual fix to every single Article where it's referenced. I have a hunch that it has something to do with cache tags, but I don't know enough to be able to investigate. Does anybody have any ideas as to how this can be fixed?
So the way that I ended up fixing this, was to use Twig Tweak to output the content block directly, like so:

{{ drupal_entity('block_content', content_block_id) }}


This ends up bypassing Drupal cache. Barring a better fix, this is the one I'm going with.
