Registering Field for Acf Block Does Not Work

I created a block with acf_register_block_type which shows the block in editor which is complete fine. I did that this way,
//custom block with acf
function mab_register_acf_block_types() {
acf_register_block_type( [
'name' => 'blockquote',
'title' => __( 'Blockquote' ),
'description' => __( 'My blockquote block.' ),
'render_template' => dirname( __file__ ) . '/blocks/blockquote/blockquote.php',
'category' => 'formatting',
'icon' => 'format-quote',
] );
}
if ( function_exists( 'acf_register_block_type' ) ) {
add_action( 'acf/init', 'mab_register_acf_block_types' );
}
But I wanted to register the field for this block which actually does not work. The registration of field done this way
add_action('acf/init', function () {
if( function_exists('acf_add_local_field_group') ):
acf_add_local_field_group(array (
'key' => 'group_1',
'title' => 'My Group',
'fields' => array (
array (
'key' => 'field_1',
'label' => 'Sub Title',
'name' => 'sub_title',
'type' => 'text',
'prefix' => '',
'instructions' => '',
'required' => 0,
'conditional_logic' => 0,
'wrapper' => array (
'width' => '',
'class' => '',
'id' => '',
),
'default_value' => '',
'placeholder' => '',
'prepend' => '',
'append' => '',
'maxlength' => '',
'readonly' => 0,
'disabled' => 0,
)
),
'location' => array (
array (
array (
'param' => 'block',
'operator' => '==',
'value' => 'blockquote',
),
),
),
'menu_order' => 0,
'position' => 'normal',
'style' => 'default',
'label_placement' => 'top',
'instruction_placement' => 'label',
'hide_on_screen' => '',
));
endif;
});
If I set the location to something else like post_type , it is okay, which means the code for registering the field is working for post_type but if I set the location to block == 'blockquote', it's not working. Is there anything wrong I am doing or is it the bug of acf ?

I'm using ACF (Pro) 6.1.7 but when registering the fields; the callback function is hooked into 'acf/include_fields' not 'acf/init'.
Secondly, and very likely the cause of your issue:
Even though don't specify a namespace in acf_register_block_type(name) (and you should not specify a namespace in acf_register_block_type); ['location'][0][0]['value'] in your callback function, acf_add_local_field_group, should be 'acf/blockquote' not just 'blockquote'.
