Allow me to chain CMS fields in a text block

Certainly! Here's an expanded and professional version of your request to Webflow:


Feature Request: Allow Chaining of CMS Fields Within a Single Text Block

Dear Webflow Team,

I’d like to request a feature that allows users to chain multiple CMS fields within a single text block in the Designer, without needing separate elements or complex workarounds. Currently, CMS-bound fields can only be used one at a time per element (e.g., a heading, paragraph, or text span), which limits flexibility and often results in extra styling overhead or cluttered layouts.

What This Feature Would Do:

Enable users to insert and dynamically combine multiple CMS fields into one continuous text block. For example:

"Written by {{Author Name}} on {{Publish Date}} in {{Category}}"

This sentence currently requires three separate text elements or custom code — but with chaining support, users could build it directly in one text block using something like:

"Written by {{Author Name}} on {{Publish Date}} in {{Category}}"

Webflow could achieve this via dynamic text tokens or inline CMS bindings inside rich text fields or basic text elements.


Why It’s Useful:

  • Streamlines layouts – Avoids splitting simple sentences across multiple elements just to insert dynamic data.

  • Reduces DOM bloat – Fewer text blocks and divs means cleaner, faster-loading sites.

  • Improves content logic – Allows content creators to write dynamic sentences naturally, without relying on designers to piece them together element by element.

  • Empowers localisation and personalisation – Especially valuable for multilingual content or conditional messages that rely on dynamic content placement.


Who Would Benefit:

  • Content-heavy sites like blogs, directories, and e-commerce platforms

  • Marketing teams who want more flexible copy personalisation

  • Designers who want cleaner, faster layouts without code

  • Developers who wish to reduce custom code or CMS workarounds


This improvement would make the CMS even more powerful and intuitive — aligning with Webflow’s mission to empower visual development without compromising flexibility.

Thanks for considering this!

Best regards
