I need to lower the limit on a nested collection

Design help CMS

I have a collection of blog posts, and each blog post has a collection of images.

On the front-end, for each blog post, I want to render 4 images. No more no less.

Right now it seems like it is stuck at 5. The “Display Limits” section disappears for the nested collection of images.

You can use CSS for this.
I’m not sure of your HTML DOM structure for this list but the general pattern would be;

.outer-collection-item .inner-collection-list .collection-item {
    display: none; /* Hide all by default */
}
.outer-collection-item .inner-collection-list .collection-item:nth-child(-n+4) {
    display: block; /* Display first 4 only */
}

Thanks for the suggestion… Interesting. Is there a reason why this can’t be done via the collection settings?

You can see my dom structure in the screenshot I provided. But here is my read-only link

I can’t guess the reason behind Webflow’s decision there.
You might find or create a wishlist item for that.

No the actual HTML DOM that CSS operates can only be seen in the published HTML.
Use my CSS as a guide, and adjust the selectors for your own DOM structure.
