Text duplication


How to I keep the text (“vendor setup) in the second column from duplicating so that I can add unique text for all rows? Thanks.

In that part of your site you’re working within a collection list.

Any static content you put there will be duplicated for each item. Anything you don’t want static, you want to store the content in the CMS and bind it to that CMS field.

So from here, you have to decide what you want. Are you trying to have a list of items and only the first one changes for each CMS item? Or are you trying to give yourself per-CMS-item flexibility in the content that goes in that area, including whether you use a list at all.

I’d generally build for that second scenario, create a rich text field in the CMS, put a rich text element on the page, and bind it.

You’d have to learn how to style it the way you want but that gives you the most flexibility.

Make sure to use Webflow university, you probably want the CMS and collection list courses first, and then the rich text styling courses.

@memetican Hello, thank you for your assistance and suggestions. I think I’m set.

To keep the text (“vendor setup”) from duplicating in every row of your CMS Collection List, you’ll need to make that text dynamic instead of static.

Right now, that text is probably a static text element, which is why it repeats in every row.

:white_check_mark: How to fix it:

  1. Go to your CMS Collection.
  2. Add a new field (e.g., “Column Text” or “Label”).
  3. Enter a unique value for each item in that field.
  4. In your Webflow Designer, select the text element in the second column.
  5. Click “Get Text from CMS” and connect it to the new field you created.

Now each row will show its own unique text, instead of repeating the same one.

If you want, I can guide you step-by-step with screenshots from your project.

Thanks
