Hello! I am using a UI kit that has a CMS flow established, but I need to UNLINK the Current CMS category and relink a new one… I have gone through everything and when I click on the navigation to unbind the element, the purple box indicating CMS element and category is locked. It’s unchangeable.How do I unlock the CMS elements and rebind with a different CMS element? thank you for any help. Also, just so you know, I am a new Webflow user and my tech knowledge is very limited… TY for any help!
I’m having a similar issue. I copied and pasted a collection list and want the copy to have a different cms source, but it is locked. Is there a way to unlock the source? Did you find a solution?
There is another route because I kept coming into the issue that even if made all the purple locks unlock there was a mysterious one I couldn’t figure out. beginner woes.
So I went into the CMS Category Settings panel and at the bottom of the page is a “view connections”. I deleted any connections from the pages I was working on… Probably not the right way, but it worked for me!
I followed all of the advice in this post (I think), but I am still stymied by a CMS source that won’t unlock.
I duplicated the original CMS page I now want to use with a different CMS collection source.
I created a new CMS collection.
I disconnected all of the purple elements in the collection item elements on the duplicated page. All of the photos from the original CMS collection instantly disappeared.
I went into the CMS settings for the new CMS collection, and when I “viewed” the connections, I was informed that there were no connections.
Nevertheless, the CMS source for the duplicated page is still locked in the Connection List settings on the duplicated page and I cannot change it.
Hi Bill,
I have encountered the exact same problem as you. But when I unlinked the “link” (the link block I added before) with the collection by chance, it works! I can change the source now. So you can check if the link block is the thingy that bothers you. Hope it helps.
