This may be in the wrong forum - if so: Sorry in advance
I'm trying to insert alt text to the image block.
But for some reason it is removed.

Hi Anders,
That's normal behavior, the alt text can only be edited if the image is a static image.
When the dynamic option is enabled, it pulls the alt text from the image itself, you can not edit the alt text.
Think about this scenario, you are adding the image block to a content template as featured image, if it allows you to edit the alt text, then all the featured images will have the same alt text.
Hope that makes sense :)
An option/feature for this would really improve how you can make SEO work!

Wrong - you can use filters/shortcodes for creating a dynamic alt-text!
Please consider the feature for the 1.5 release.
I don't think that's in our priority list right now.
