Nested Collections now live in designer (Max 5 Items)

Just discovered that nested collections now work in the designer. i.e. you can place a collection inside a collection - an example would be to display blog tags on the main blog page.

  • Limited to a max of 5 items to be shown.
  • And a max of 1 nested list per page.

Enjoy!

Hi,

This nested collection list feature is great at many levels.
But why does it seem impossible to paginate this nested collection list and only have the ability to limit it ?

Whereas a regular collection list would have this :

Does this mean we need to write our own ajax workaround if we want to reduce loading times ?

Did you ever get an answer to this?

Nope, never got an answer.
I wrote a script that shows my items by batches rather than showing all on load…
But this clearly isn’t the best practice.
I would love the ability for pagination in nested collections…

oh, It is super useful.

BUT… why limit to 5 items only!

It feels like I was given a Michelin dish, but a 5/100 portion of it.
It is a punishment. :upside_down_face:

5 items is an absolutely ABSURD limitation. Change this, come on.

Is the 5 item limit arbitrary? I could really use this feature but with the limit its just useless.

Here is a solution if you are struggling with Webflow‘s limitations of max 1 nested collection with max 5 items per page:

Feedback and ideas welcome :wink:
