I have a CMS collection (resources) that I have a multi-reference to categories set up in another collection. It seems like to make the finsweet filtering work, I need to display the multi-reference on each item in my list on a resources page. However, I cannot seem to figure out how to add them to each item (card) that i’ve set up in my list - they don’t show up for any field i’ve tried to add (heading, paragraph, rich text, etc.)
Multi-reference fields in Webflow maintain the order in which items are selected within the Collection item settings. Here’s what you need to know about working with them:
The referenced items can be displayed using standard Collection List elements and their templates. While you can’t directly convert the reference field display into different field types like headings or rich text, you can achieve similar results by:
Using CSS classes to style the referenced item text
Creating custom combinations of elements within your Collection template
Utilizing dynamic text elements to display specific fields from the referenced items
For Finsweet filtering integration, you can use the referenced item’s fields as filter criteria by accessing them through the Collection template structure. The filter attributes should reference the specific fields you want to filter by from the referenced items.
Hopefully this helps! If you still need assistance, please reply here so somebody from the community can help.
Drop a collection list inside of a collection item, then bind that to your multiref field.
Add a text element inside, linked to e.g. the name or whatever you’re filtering on.
You can display: none that entire nested collection list if you don’t want the user to see them- FS list filter will still see them fine.
