Is it possible to link a Webflow CMS collection list to another CMS collection?

Yes, it's possible to link a Webflow CMS collection list to another CMS collection using a Reference or Multi-Reference field. This allows you to create relationships between collections.

1. Use Reference or Multi-Reference Fields

• Reference Field: Links a single item from another CMS collection (e.g., each blog post references one author).
• Multi-Reference Field: Links multiple items from another collection (e.g., each product links to multiple categories).

To set one up:

• Go to CMS > Collections, and open the collection you want to edit.
• Add a new field, choose Reference or Multi-Reference, and select the target collection you want to link to.

2. Add a Collection List Inside Item Templates

• Inside a Collection Page Template, you can add a Collection List that pulls in related items from another collection.
• This works if you already created a Reference or Multi-Reference field; Webflow will allow the Collection List to reference items via this relationship.

3. Bind Content from Referenced Collections

• Once the Reference or Multi-Reference link is active, you can display fields from the related collection (e.g., author name from an Author collection) directly in your main collection list.
• Use Dynamic Text, Image, or Link elements, and connect them to fields within the referenced collection.

4. Filter Linked Items

• For Multi-Reference fields, you can filter a Collection List to display only items linked via the field.
• For Reference fields, a Single Reference can be displayed using individual elements (e.g., show author name on each blog post item).

Summary

You can link one CMS collection to another in Webflow using Reference or Multi-Reference fields. Once linked, you can display content from the related collection using collection lists, filters, and dynamic bindings.
