Issue
Title and steps come from the upstream issue and pull request.
Description
Steps to reproduce
We have several blocks per country, which have the same identifier, so when we select a block it is the last created that is selected.
Example:
Block FR => identifier = test
Block EN => identifier = test
When I select the "Block FR", it is the Block EN that is selected.

Expected result
Actual result
Taken from the upstream issue.
