How to bind to custom blog post field?

Design help CMS
1

Hi there,

I’ve created a custom field for “author” in my blog post CMS collection. It is a multi-reference field that pulls from a seperate blog author collection.

When I drop a text block into the blog posts template and click on the purple dot to bind it to a collection, it only allows me to select from a very limited number of fields from the blog post collection. Author isn’t one of them.

I’ve attached some screenshots

Any help on how to do this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

You’ve bound Author as a multi-ref, which means you have set it up to store several authors.

On your collection template page, you need to drop a collection list, and bind it to that Author field. Then inside that collection list you can drop your text elements, etc. and bind them to the specific author fields.
