Yes, it is possible to have nested lists in the Rich Text field while creating a collection template in Webflow. Here's how you can achieve this:

  1. Start by adding a Rich Text field to your collection template. Go to your Collection Template Editor and select the Collection List Wrapper element where you want to display the Rich Text field.

  2. Inside the Collection List Wrapper, add a Rich Text element. You can do this by dragging and dropping the Rich Text element from the Elements panel onto the canvas.

  3. With the Rich Text element selected, go to the right sidebar and click on the Field Settings tab.

  4. In the Field Settings tab, click on the Bind Field button next to the Content field. This will open the Field Binding dialog.

  5. In the Field Binding dialog, select the Rich Text field that you want to bind to the Content field. This will populate the Rich Text element with the dynamic content from the selected field.

  6. Now you can start adding nested lists inside the Rich Text element. To create a nested list, select a paragraph or list item and press the Tab key on your keyboard. This will indent the selected item and turn it into a nested list item.

  7. You can continue adding nested lists within nested lists by repeating the previous step.

  8. To style the nested lists, you can use the Webflow Designer. Simply select the Rich Text element, go to the Styles panel, and apply your desired styles to the list elements and their nested counterparts.

By following these steps, you can create nested lists in the Rich Text field while creating a collection template in Webflow. This allows you to structure your content in a visually appealing and organized manner.

Example:

<Collection List Wrapper>   <Rich Text>      <p>Item 1</p>      <ul>         <li>Nested item 1</li>         <li>Nested item 2</li>      </ul>      <p>Item 2</p>   </Rich Text></Collection List Wrapper>

Please note: When creating nested lists in the Rich Text field, keep in mind that the styling of the nested lists may be limited to the default styles provided by the Webflow Designer. If you need more advanced styling options, you may consider using custom code or third-party plugins.

Additionally, ensure that the Rich Text field is properly formatted and structured to avoid any rendering issues on different devices or browsers.

In summary, to create nested lists in the Rich Text field while creating a collection template in Webflow, you need to add a Rich Text element to your template, bind it to the Content field, and then use the Tab key to indent and create nested lists.
