CMS within Text Span

For example if you want one word in the middle of a paragraph to be Dynamic content without needing to add 3 text elements to connect the second text element to CMS for the same result as if the text span would have been able to connect to CMS.

Not a big deal, but would be great to fix:))

    Webflow did have a feature for this. Watch this video https://youtu.be/BN37ddt_or8?si=udiZmNbL7h0UsLSy

    Maybe it was in beta, but now it no longer exists for whatever reason. They definitely need to bring this back. I've been waiting for it to be announced but it's really disappointing that Webflow still does not have this.

    Hi!
    I had the same problem.
    I added a code embed, and it looked like this:

    <h1 class="my-class-name">TITLE-PART-ONE-CMS-FIELD <span style="color: HIGHLIGHT-COLOR-CODE-CMS-FIELD">HIGHLIGHTED-TEXT-CMS-FIELD</span> TITLE-PART-TWO-CMS-FIELD<h1>


    Highlighted texts are CMS variables.


    It's not perfect, but it worked.

    THIS! Would be nice for other tags too like bold, italic etc.

    ah man. Just ran into this expecting it to work. Have to stack text elements as a workaround I guess?

    This is still a very welcome feature. I'll describe our use case for this. We have customer success stories on our website. They are in a caroussel on the homepage and you can click on one to go to the respective page with the full story. I want the title of that page to be
    <h1>Customer success story: {companyName}</h1>
    However, I can´t do this right now! Making two h1-tags to achieve this would of course be a nightmare for SEO.

    Add three text fields doesn't work when trying to create a dynamic H1 heading, for example. You can't add any more elements into a heading.


    And paragraph text that you convert to a span can't be linked to a dynamic field.

    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? That thread mentioned here was from 2015/16.

    Interestingly, found this - https://discourse.webflow.com/t/insert-cms-field-into-middle-of-a-paragraph/20361 - Where someone from Webflow at the time says:

    "We wanted to support this functionality at launch but couldn’t get to it due to some complexity. In essence it’s like adding a span around a part of the text (in a paragraph for example) and having that text come from the database. We don’t have support for that yet.

    For now you’ll have to add a div, add 3 text blocks and float them all or make them all display: inline, and bind the middle one to a text field so it pulls from the database."

    So, if you ind this in the future, at least there's a wonky work around for now. You'd think 8 years on they might have gotten to this maybe hmmm... 🤔 Easier said than done, I'm sure.

    This would be a really big help and make a world of difference. It’s a major oversight for a basic functionality, in my own humble opinion. Please do address this.
