Jetpack Donations Block: Plan IDs disappear

Impacted plugin

Jetpack

Steps to Reproduce

1. Go to page with Donations Block as a logged in user that is not the Jetpack plan owner
2. Edit any content on the page.
3. Save the page.
4. View page and test Donation block.

This error appears:

A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.

Any site user with admin/editing permissions should be able to go to a page with the donation block, edit content on the page, and publish the changes.

When viewing the updated page, the donation block should still function properly and accept transactions.

What actually happened

• A non-Jetpack plan owner but admin to the site made a text update to a page.
• Saving that somehow removed the plan IDs from the Jetpack donation block
• Without the plan IDs the donation block won’t work
• Logging in as the Jetpack plan owner, clicking on the Jetpack donation block, and then viewing the code view behind the blocks (in the block editor) showed that the plan IDs came back
• Saving the page with the plan IDs back in the block made the block work again.

Missing Plan IDs

Other information

Working Theory: Editing the page content as a different user from the Jetpack plan owner, for some reason, removes the Plan IDs for each of the donation amounts.
