To set up a slider for each collection item in a collection list in Webflow without using a 'Dynamic Id' or custom field in the CMS, you can follow these steps:

  1. Create a Slider component: Start by adding a Slider component to the Collection Item wrapper. This component will hold the images for each collection item.

  2. Add Slider Images: Within the Slider component, add an Image component for each image you want to display in the slider. You can use the Image component to upload or select images from the media library.

  3. Set Slider settings: Customize the Slider settings according to your requirements. You can adjust the slide transition, autoplay, navigation arrows, and other options. Make sure to test the settings to ensure they work as desired.

  4. Set Slider component visibility: By default, all Slider components in the Collection List will display the same images. To set up a unique slider for each collection item:

    • Select the Slider component and go to the settings panel on the right.
    • Under the Conditional Visibility section, click on the "+" icon to add a new condition.
    • Set the condition to be based on a unique field in your CMS collection, such as the Title or Slug.
    • For example, if you have a 'Title' field, you can create a condition like "Current Collection Item's Title" is equal to "Slider 1". This will show the Slider component only for collection items with a matching title.
  5. Repeat for other Sliders: If you have multiple sliders in your collection list, repeat steps 1 to 4 for each slider component and set different conditions based on the unique field in your CMS collection.

By following these steps, each collection item in the Collection List will have its own slider component, allowing you to display unique images or content for each item.
