Reproduction Steps

I used npx create-payload-appcommand to create repro repo. Please use link to reproduction for the full example.

How to reproduce

1. Create a BlockTest item with block field in "en" locale
2. Click "Copy to locale" link and choose "de" locale as a target
3. Click "Copy" button and observe the error in the console

BlockTests collection:

export const BlockTests: CollectionConfig = {
  slug: 'blockTests',
  fields: [
    {
      name: 'text',
      type: 'text',
      localized: true,
    },
    {
      name: 'content',
      type: 'blocks',
      localized: true,
      blocks: [
        {
          slug: 'text',
          fields: [
            {
              name: 'text',
              type: 'text',
            },
          ],
        },
      ],
    },
  ],
}

Payload config:

export default buildConfig({
  collections: [BlockTests, ...],
  localization: {
    defaultLocale: 'en',
    locales: ['en', 'de'],
    fallback: true,
  },
  ...
})
