No, the Custom HTML/Embed field is not missing from the CMS Collection Fields selector in Webflow. It is actually available as an option when setting up a Collection Field within the CMS.

If you cannot find the Custom HTML/Embed field in the CMS Collection Fields selector, there could be a few reasons for this:

Wrong Field Type: Make sure that you are selecting the correct field type when setting up a new field in the CMS. The Custom HTML/Embed field is a specific field type that allows you to add custom code or embed external content within a Collection item. Double-check that you have chosen the correct field type.
Permissions: The Custom HTML/Embed field may not be available if you do not have the necessary permissions or access level. Make sure that you have the appropriate permissions to add and modify Collection fields.
Template Restrictions: If you are using a Webflow template, it's possible that the template designer has removed or disabled the Custom HTML/Embed field for specific purposes. Templates can be customized by the designer, and they may have chosen to remove this field for design or security reasons.

It's important to note that the Custom HTML/Embed field is a powerful tool that allows you to add custom code snippets or embed external content within your CMS Collection items. By using this field, you can extend the functionality of your website and integrate with third-party services or add custom styling.

If you are still unable to find the Custom HTML/Embed field in the CMS Collection Fields selector, I recommend reaching out to Webflow support for assistance. They will be able to help you troubleshoot and determine why the field may not be available in your specific scenario.
