Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Max Item Restriction
The custom control is using the getEntityRecords method.
This method can load a maximum of 100 entities and render them as dropdown options
When choosing the entity type Page, depending on the number of pages you have, the first time, the call might take
a while, as the whole page object get’s loaded
To use a custom taxonomy type, make sure to activate the REST option in the register_taxonomy function by adding 'show_in_rest' => true,
Parent Entity Restriction does only work for Pages / Categories / Custom Taxonomies, as other Entity Types (e.g. Posts / Tags) cannot be nested
For the entityType post-type, an ignore list excludes all wordpress related post types:
You can use the custom control exactly how you use normal controls for lazy blocks
