Under collection settings, where you can add fields for each project, it'd be great to be able to add a repeater field. This would function like Advanced Custom Fields in Wordpress, so that in the CMS settings you could add an image repeater field. Then, in the user side of the CMS, you could add an image and have a button for 'add another image'.

I've run into this issue trying to use the CMS for a portfolio and hitting a 31 field limit.

We NEED dynamic page zones like this to create custom page layouts in the CMS. This is CRUCIAL to Webflow.
This should get a high priority - every site I have built with WP uses ACF repeating fields. Am currently evaluating Webflow and have purchased a subscription to create a proof of concept. This, along with inability to create hierarchal categories may be show stoppers.
(I posted this over on the forums, but thought it worth saying here, too)
We started testing Webflow at our agency for use with smaller client sites and it's pretty cool, but I agree with folks who are coming from CMSs like Craft CMS, Statamic, WP with/ACF, or even ExpressionEngine - if you've never used a "repeater" ("matrix") field, you don't know what you're missing.
So far the Webflow CMS seems pretty good, at least for more basic type sites than we typically build with these other systems. I think the lack of a repeating fieldtype is a pretty big drawback and hampers what you can set the CMS up for. If you have to rely on RTF's for content, it should be a more advanced RTF than I'm seeing in Webflow currently.
We're currently reviewing Webflows limitations to see if our agency should incorporate it in into out stack. I have to say this one surprised me. So for a client to manage simple product details with repeater fields is not possible?!

I second (and third and fourth, etc) the want/need for this feature.
What's more, I am wondering why this request hasn't even been reviewed (at least there is no "reviewed" tag on this suggestion). There are requests with literally only 1 vote that are marked with the review tag. Indeed, there are requests with only 1 vote that have a tag of "planning" and some with as little as 11 votes that are "in development".
And yet, this is a 4 year old request with over two hundreds votes that would greatly improve the power and flexibility of the webflow cms.
As such, I would like to please request that you take (another?) look at this request as well as write an update on what are webflows plans vis-a-vis this request.
Thanks :).
P.S. I should add that there are projects that I would start today on webflow if only they had this feature. It seems that I'm not the only one.

It'd be in Webflow's best interest to add this functionality while Editor X is still maddeningly buggy (perhaps fatally broken) for sure!
This is a must need to build scalable CMS pages
This would be a game changer for all Webflow users. Please make this happen.
Still really want this feature.

Very surprised that this feature has been requested for 4 years - and still no update

This is the one thing that is stopping me using webflow...
How is this not a feature. PLEASE WEBFLOW. I NEED THIS FOR ALL MY CLIENTS. I have to use WORDPRESS FOR THIS FUNCTIONALITY. We all know how much we hate wordpress.
NEED IT!

It is very important! Highly!!!!
I'm really surprised this doesn't have more votes. I've built websites for architecture companies that have portfolio pieces. Having a portfolio stick to a structure isn't the best, each project is different and the content should reflect that.
Often I build "blocks" such as "quote", "slider", "image", "content" which the client can choose from to build out their page.

Hi guys!
While EditorX already has this in their pipeline... I certainly hope Webflow quickly add this feature: https://www.editorx.com/features/coming-soon
Cheers,
