Finsweet work-around: multiple nested CMS collection lists per page

Design help CMS
1

Hello Community.

I am struggling with a Finsweet work-around for multiple nested CMS lists.
Explained in:

Updated my CMS with a text field that lists the same strings that another multi-ref field is referencing.
Created a hidden list, pulling all of my data from a referenced CMS.
Bound this list to the div block in my card, writing a script using Finsweet visual script writer and placing it in the page’s Before tag.

Not showing up!

I think the Finsweet work-around only works on text fields. If I wanted to pull up an image from my multi-ref CMS into the CMS Collection List’s card, it won’t work. Can somebody please confirm?

Thank you
Boris

Hey Boris

I worked a lot of hours on nested CMS Collections today. Let me know, if you still need some help. Also send me the RO-Link of your project.

You probably know: This CMS Library / Text Field with same strings as multi-ref field isn’t necessary anymore.

Cheers

Hi there @Andres_U,
I just watched the video from Finsweet and so your comment. Would you explain to me how you’ve done the multi nested collection in one page without using the CMS Library / Text Field with same strings as multi-ref field ? It would be very very much appreciated!!!

Hi @Estelle_B, thanks for reaching out to me.
This is a sample project I built, where you also can see that interactions for CMS Nest don’t work yet. Remember: Nested CMS elements won’t show in preview mode.

Hope this helps!

I get an error when I try to do this. How do you achieved this?

Looked at the documentary from top to bottom 20x times to find the mistake :slight_smile: also bit trial and error and comparison with other webflow projects

I agree the Finsweet documentation is poor / confusing.
