Update block in migration
I have a migration where I need to modify some data in a blocklist. My plan is:
1. Get a list of all IContent with the blocklist on it.
2. Find the relevant widget in the blocklist.
3. Modify the widget.
4. Save the IContent.
I already have a complete list of IContent with the blocklist, but I cannot figure out how to deserialize the blocklist, and then I would have to serialize it at the end too, before saving.

Maybe I am going about this the wrong way?

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Allan

Sounds the right way!

There are some docs here: https://our.umbraco.com/Documentation/Fundamentals/Backoffice/Property-Editors/Built-in-Property-Editors/Block-List-Editor/#creating-blocklist-programmatically

but also this gist from Dan Diplo might be really helpful:
