To add a date into a paragraph field in Webflow without causing the tile view to collapse, you can follow these steps:

  1. Create a separate field for the date: Instead of adding the date within the paragraph field, create a new field specifically for the date. This will allow you to display the date without affecting the layout of the tile view.

  2. Add the date field to your collection: If you haven't already, go to your CMS (Content Management System) Collections in Webflow and open the collection where you want to add the date. Click on "Add Field" and choose the field type that suits the date format you desire (e.g., text, date, etc.). Give the field an appropriate name, such as "Date" or "Published Date."

  3. Populate the date field: When adding or editing items in your collection, you can now include the date in the dedicated date field. Make sure to enter it in the correct format or use a date picker if available.

  4. Style the date separately: To maintain the layout of the tile view, you may want to style the date field separately from the paragraph field. You can do this by targeting the date field's class or adding custom CSS styles to give it a different appearance.

  5. Design your tile view layout: Now you can design your tile view layout by configuring the style and structure of each tile, including the date field and the paragraph field. Take care to ensure that the elements are correctly positioned and sized, allowing space for the date field without collapsing the tile view.

By following these steps, you can add a date into a paragraph field in Webflow without causing the tile view to collapse, maintaining a visually pleasing and organized layout.
