Nav block list view - Page List (parent) doesn't provide context that it is locked whereas children do.

The Page List (parent) doesn't provide context that it is locked whereas children do. This is confusing for assistive tech.

@getdave or @draganescu Any advice on where to look for adjusting this? I am not sure why page list itself would not identify itself as locked. I think this is a block attribute but wouldn't a locked state get outputted at a fairly global level?

Thanks.

@alexstine The lock status of the block for the Navigation block list view (only) is accessed here

gutenberg/packages/block-editor/src/components/off-canvas-editor/block.js

Line 61 in 88e3406

const { isLocked, isContentLocked } = useBlockLock( clientId );

This uses the useBlockLock hook from the @wordpress/block-editor package.

I hope that helps?

I am trying to figure out if the issue is with useBlockLock or the block itself. I think it might be the page-list block itself. It seems to not have any templateLock attribute. I do not know how to update blocks at the moment. According to the hook, it does get the rootClientId so I would think it should be able to detect if the parent block is locked.

Figured I would try to take a quick look at this to see if I could make the release but I think this is currently a bit too much out of scope of my current knowledge. I have never studied the block API.

Thanks.
