Research direction

Trace the site-editor save path and the import workflow, focusing on how postType and the gutenberg type are currently handled. Completion means saving FSE templates in a global option and distinguishing them with site-editor during import; the issue names no files or tests, so repository exploration is required.

Description

new feature
What problem does this address?

Currently, there is no support to save FSE templates from within the site-editor as the save feature relies on the postType being defined. Hence the template save is disabled as a result of #246

What is your proposed solution?

We would need to improve support for the FSE editor and save FSE template data under a global option instead of the post meta, just for the FSE templates.
Also, we would need to check the import workflow and use another type site-editor instead of gutenberg to differentiate FSE templates from regular templates.
