Nested Collection Lists

Nested Collection Lists, formerly called Dynamic List,  have many applications, like multi-reference tags within a Collection Lists item or deeper linking/connections between CMS content.

    Good news! We've officially launched the ability to nest a 'child' collection into a 'parent' collection in your designs. Read all about it →

    OMG, how is this years old????? Absolutely need to be able to have more than one nested collection list on a static page. This is just killing the potential to deliver more robust designs.

    I'd like to add one more voice of frustration to the 5-item limit for nested collections. Please, please, please increase this limit significantly. The feature works absolutely beautifully up to 5 items...let's get up to, say...50? I know this can't be done overnight, but man that would be great to wake up tomorrow with this feature increased to 30-50 items or beyond.

    Following.

    Still a five referernce limit and still annoying the hell out of all your customers!! Webflow is seriously a love hate relationship and there's a lot of hate for this five reference limit, unlesss of course I pay over double the site plan fees just to get my project to work.


    Me to my client,

    "oh btw , I didn't realise the project wouldn't work on the hosting price I quoted to you so that's gonna have to increase by 150%, yeah a few hundred bucks, yeah sorry, happens to me all the time with Webflow, I should know better by now!"


    Client,

    "Go and get ........ it's going up 150%, we'll be paying what you quoted us"


    Me,

    :(

    Being limited to 5 reference fields on a paid plan (CMS plan) as well as 2x seats in my Workspace bugs the hell out of me. I've dropped more than $500 and I can't add a 6th reference field into my database? The same limit as the free plan? With a free seat? I mean, c',mon! It's 2022; I need at least 6 reference fields to make my project work..

    please my website needs at least 20. Even worse, only 1 nested collection on every page. its so problematic for my project

    Please sort the 5 limit out. We really don't need to be scrabbling around for code to do this... make it an even number at least. Has anyone used it at your end... I'd love to know what for with that limit on... genuinely! I think we must be all missing the point of it. It won't slow system down to change... because everyone will be using custom code to get around it anyway.

    5-10 limit is just not useful for many applications. Not sure what the status is but I am eagerly waiting.

    Great news...
    BUT the 5 items limitation is making it almost useless, not future proof as well !
    Let's vote for change here: https://wishlist.webflow.com/ideas/WEBFLOW-I-3881

    3 years, no progress or updates from Webflow. Typical.

    need more like 25 items. should be 100. the limit makes the feature useless. very frsutrating.

    The 5 item limit is nonsensical and renders the nested collections practically useless for most of my clients' projects. Please remove this limit...

    Couldn't have said it better.

    Adding in another voice. Please remove the 5-item limit!

    Thanks! but at least a 10 item limit would be better... A 5-item limit really doesn't solve much usage cases...

    The 5-item limit makes it useless in about half the cases out there. Still waiting for this to be really implemented.

    Please, please, please remove the 5 item limit on nested CMSs. Just 5 tags it really hard to manage.
