Yes, the business site plan in Webflow still has a limit of 30 item fields for the CMS (Content Management System). The CMS is a powerful feature in Webflow, allowing users to create dynamic and content-rich websites without the need for coding. Each item in the CMS can have up to 30 unique fields, such as text, images, links, checkboxes, and more. These fields can be customized to suit the specific needs of your website and its content.

While the limit of 30 item fields may seem restrictive for certain websites with complex content structures, it is important to note that Webflow offers various workarounds to overcome this limitation. Here are a couple of options to consider:

Use field types effectively:

Combine multiple related data fields into single fields using rich text fields, multi-reference fields, or JSON fields. This allows you to store and display multiple pieces of information within a single field.
Optimize your CMS fields by utilizing options like "options field" to create dropdown menus or lists of predefined values, reducing the number of individual fields required.

Utilize collections and nested collections:

Group related items into collections and use parent-child relationships to manage and organize your CMS content more efficiently.
Take advantage of nested collections, which allow you to create hierarchical data structures by nesting one collection within another. This enables you to expand the capabilities of your CMS and organize your content more effectively.

By employing these techniques and considering your content structure carefully, you can make the most of the 30 item field limit in Webflow's business site plan, ensuring that your website's CMS meets your needs.
