Yes, it is possible to create a slider in Webflow that displays images from a collection and have each slide show one image from a multi-image field. Additionally, you can also make the number of slides conditional based on the number of images in each specific collection item. Here's how you can achieve this:

  1. Create a Collection that includes a multi-image field. This field will store multiple images for each collection item.
  2. Design your slider element on your Webflow page, or use a pre-built slider component from the Webflow library.
  3. Connect the Collection to your page. Add a Collection List to your page and connect it to the desired Collection.
  4. Inside the Collection List, add a Slider component, such as a Div or a Slider Wrapper element.
  5. Within the Slider component, add a Slide for each collection item by adding a new element inside the Slider. You can use a Div or a Slide element for this purpose.
  6. Inside each Slide element, add an Image component that will display the images from the multi-image field. Connect the image source to the multi-image field of the current collection item.
  7. To make the number of slides conditional based on the number of images in each collection item, you can use Webflow's Dynamic Embeds or Custom Code. Add a Custom Embed element or a Dynamic Embed in your slide element.
  8. Write conditional logic in the Custom Embed or Dynamic Embed to count the number of images in the multi-image field, and output the desired number of slides based on that count.
  9. Style and customize your slider and slides as desired using the Webflow Designer.

By following these steps, you can create a slider in Webflow that displays images from a collection, with each slide showing one image from a multi-image field. The number of slides can be made conditional based on the number of images in each specific collection item.
