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.

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?

Upvote - Use case: "[Text from CMS] + static text"

Upvoted.
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.

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.

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.
Just an idea of how this might be implemented.

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.

I really hope someone sees this in prep for eCommerce. This is a super important function for good functionality and semantics. I realize that we can use and HTML embed to create inline CMS text strings, but eCommerce would benefit greatly from this.
A good example would be linking products that have text overlays that need to pull info from the CMS. Lot's of designs use card style links, but since you can add HTML embeds into link blocks, this will be impossible to do.
Something to think about.

This feature is absolutely necessary to build real dynamic content pages! For example:
"Hi <Name>, welcome to your page!" or »<This is the headline >«
