Expand supported Component Properties

In Webflow, many essential properties and settings are still not available as component properties. This limitation significantly reduces the practicality of component-based building, especially in Build Mode. As a result, creating a stable and consistent design system is still nearly impossible.


Here are the most critical missing properties from my perspective:

• CMS Filter

• CMS Sorting

• Lightbox Media

• Background Video

• Span, Bold, Italic, Link, etc., for text and headings (not Rich Text!)

• Custom Code

• Lottie File


I strongly wish for these properties to become available as component properties soon. Currently, the inconsistency of what can and cannot be built as a component creates confusion. This is especially challenging for my clients, as it leaves them with the impression that Webflow is complicated or inflexible.
