What?

Closes: #58042

Fixes an issue where grouping a Quote block would transform it into a Group block with the quote content converted to a Paragraph block.

Why?

When users select the "Group" option from a Quote block's toolbar, the current behavior transforms the Quote block into a Group block and converts the quote content to a Paragraph block. This is unexpected behavior - the Quote block should be wrapped in a Group block while maintaining its original structure.

Testing Instructions

  1. Add a Quote block to the editor
  2. Add some content and a citation
  3. Select the Quote block
  4. Click the "Group" option from the block toolbar
  5. Verify:
    • The Quote block is now wrapped in a Group block
    • The quote content remains a Quote block (not converted to Paragraph)
    • The citation is preserved
    • All formatting is maintained

Thanks for working on this, @Sukhendu2002!

Unfortunately, I don't think there's a consensus on how to resolve this problem. For similar issues, I would recommend continuing the discussion in the ticket until it becomes actionable.

Technical note

You can remove the transformation in question, and the block editor will default to the wildcard transformation just like other blocks.

Grouping a single Quote block transforms it (instead of grouping it)
