Yes, there is a way to redirect the "View All" link to a different page based on the active bio template page in Webflow. Here's how you can achieve this:

  1. Identify your active bio template page: Start by determining the page that represents your bio template. This is the page where all the individual bio pages are populated from.

  2. Add a custom field: Go to the Collection Settings for your bio template collection and add a custom field, let's call it "Redirect URL". This field will store the URL of the page you want to redirect the "View All" link to.

  3. Populate the "Redirect URL" field: For each bio entry in your collection, navigate to the correct bio template page and enter the desired URL into the "Redirect URL" field. Make sure you enter the complete URL, including the http:// or https:// prefix.

  4. Add a dynamic link to your bio template page: Edit the bio template page where you want to display the "View All" link. Insert a link element and click on the link settings.

  5. Configure the dynamic link settings: In the link settings panel, select the dynamic page option. Then, select the bio template collection and choose the "Redirect URL" field as the dynamic field.

  6. Redirect to the "Redirect URL" field value: In the link settings panel, enable the option "Open link in a new tab" if desired. Then, select "Current" for the target option and set the link path to use the "Redirect URL" field. This will redirect the "View All" link to the different page specified in the "Redirect URL" field for that bio.

  7. Publish and test: Finally, publish your changes and test the "View All" link on your bio template page. It should dynamically redirect to the specified page based on the active bio template page.

By following these steps, you'll be able to redirect the "View All" link to a different page based on the active bio template page in Webflow.
