Yes, it is possible to link checkboxes to an event's collection list in Webflow CMS. This can be achieved by following these steps:

  1. Create a Collection in Webflow CMS for events: Start by creating a collection in Webflow CMS to store information about events. You can define the fields you need, such as event title, description, date, etc.

  2. Add a Checkbox field to the event's Collection: In the Collection Editor, add a Checkbox field to the events Collection. This checkbox will be used to mark the events that need to be displayed or hidden.

  3. Design the Event Template: Design a Webflow CMS template for the event details page. This will be the layout that displays the details of each event. Make sure to include dynamic fields that correspond to the event's Collection fields.

  4. Add the Collection List component: In the Webflow Designer, add a Collection List component to the desired page where you want to display the events.

  5. Set the Collection List settings: Configure the Collection List component to pull data from the events Collection and set any filtering or sorting options as needed.

  6. Connect the Checkbox to the Collection List filtering: With the Collection List component selected, go to the Settings tab in the right sidebar. Under the Filters option, click the Add filter button.

  7. Set the filter options: In the filter settings, choose the Checkbox field that you added to the events Collection. Select the "is true" condition to show only the events that have the checkbox checked.

  8. Preview and Publish: Preview your website to see the events that have the checkbox checked being displayed on the page. Make any necessary design tweaks and publish your site.

By following these steps, you can link checkboxes to an event's Collection list in Webflow CMS, allowing you to display or hide events based on the checkbox status.
