This would make my life SO much easier, honestly shocked it still doesn't seem to exist? Makes creating many more complex landing pages incredibly difficult.
Anyone aware of a workaround? Shocked it still seems to be missing nearly 6 years later...
Yes please. Check out how Duda implmenets this. They basically allow double brackets "{{" and it pulls up a UI that lets you choose the CMS item to insert. Thanks guys.
My use case is wanting to have a numerical "Read Time" in the CMS, and only having to enter a number in the CMS instead of also having to type "min read" each time in the Collection.
The worst thing about this is that if you have a static text and a cms text in the same heading, webflow will create 2-3 different headings which will kill your SEO. I dont understand why this is not built in already.
Meant to say: while it would be ideal to simply highlight a portion of text in a headline (for example) and make it dynamic, I'm reminded of how Elementor (a WordPress page builder plugin) handles creating smaller pieces of dynamic text.
In Elementor, you assign an element to a collection (e.g. a headline), and choose the field it should use from that collection to populate the text. So far, pretty much same as Webflow.
But then, they also have a 'before' and 'after' field in the settings for the element. This gives you the option to add some text to come before the dynamic text and/or after.
That way, you can easily construct a hybrid headline of static and dynamic text. It works great.
I'm constantly telling everyone how amazing the CMS is (and it is!). But I've just hit this need to be able to display dynamic CMS data inline, a really simple use case. I can't quite believe it's not possible, without setting multiple list items to display inline.

Welcome to Webflow. Where years can go by with no progress on bug fixes or feature requests.

Agreed. For SEO purposes I need a H1 like "[Text from CMS] + static text" like mentioned below.
The only solution now is to add a field in the collection and manually enter the complete heading for each Collection Item.

Really need this feature. Is this something that is being considered or should we just assume it won't be added at this point?

Upvoted.

3years and a half... i think it's time to give up on Webflow. Other companies are putting rockets into orbit faster than you do basic stuff like this.

Just an idea of how this might be implemented.
