What?

Closes #17999
Related issue: #38251

Extends the List block to allow Image and Gallery blocks inside List Items by updating the innerBlocks configuration. See suggestion here

A better solution might be allowing other blocks to be added to the list? #17999

Why?

Users frequently need to add visual content within list items but currently lack this functionality. This enhancement provides the flexibility to create richer, more engaging list content by embedding images and galleries directly within list items.

How?

  • Modified the List Item block's innerBlocks allowedBlocks to include core/image and core/gallery
  • Updated block configuration to support nested media blocks within list structure
  • Maintains proper semantic HTML structure (ol/ul with li elements) for accessibility and SEO

I don't think this resolves the linked issue. It requests an option for adding other blocks, not just Image and Gallery.

Before we move forward, it could be a good time to check why the current allowedBlocks limitation was set in place. Were there any blockers at the time? Are they resolved now? etc.
