I have found this feature request on the wishlist from 3 years ago, and I find it hard to believe that it still isn’t fixed, but for the life of me I cannot do it.
I have a number of images in the assets, great, simple. I am now moving some pages to be CMS collections as it makes more sense and will automate more things going forward. However, i can’t add an image there without re-uploading? Has anyone got a workaround? Perhaps just putting in the image URL?
From Webflow’s point of view, it is going to save masses of server space surely?
Thanks Sam, but every feature (all are very standard) I have searched for I find in a wishlist. Or another thread where support says it’s on the way but never confirm an ETA (often years old).
Webflow seem very good at delaying and passifying users rather than actually building in the features that should have been there from day zero.
ok its now 2021 and this is still not fixed. Its pretty bonkers really - I can upload all my images to assets - nicely organised into folders. But when I am trying to access an image for a post within a collection I have to upload it again!!
This sort of thing although not exciting for design will loose me (and you) clients!!
The CMS needs to work for the client after I’ve delivered the design. This sort of thing drives clients crazy and there is no excuse for it.
2024, generative AI is taking over the world, we are going to Mars, we have reusable rockets, Apple Vision Pro, Bitcoin is worth 47K$ and… we still can’t use pictures from the asset library in our CMS collections.
They seem to be working on much more exciting things but leaving basic useability issues like this sit unresolved, strange one this, seems a no-brainer.
