tebe i don't think this is helping @Luluh yes, if you are moving entities between dbcontext instances it will cause problems with tracking and it will think existing entities are new ones if you want it to work like this you'll need to inform the change tracker that the entities are updated, not new

yees, i fixed this initializing the dbcontext on the page instead reinitialize in every method on the service i think the db was trying to create the blocks again because the blocks were not being tracked
