It is possible for users to encounter issues with Finsweet's CMS Filter Attributes in Webflow that may result in inconsistent results when filtering items. Here are some possible reasons why this issue may occur and some steps to troubleshoot:

Incorrect attribute settings: Ensure that the attribute settings in Finsweet's CMS Filter are correctly configured. Double-check the filter settings to make sure they match the desired outcome. For example, if the filter is based on checkboxes, confirm that the correct checkboxes are selected.
Case sensitivity issues: Be aware that attribute values in Webflow are case-sensitive. If the filter is not producing the expected results, consider checking the case sensitivity of the values in both the filter settings and the CMS items. Ensure that they match exactly.
Delayed updates: In some cases, Webflow may experience delays in updating the CMS collections, resulting in inconsistent behavior. Try republishing the site to force an update.
Cache issues: Sometimes, caching can interfere with the expected behavior of the filter attributes. Clear your browser cache or try using an incognito/private browsing window to see if the issue persists.
conflicts with other custom code: If you have custom code on your Webflow site that interacts with the CMS or affects filtering, there may be conflicts. Temporarily remove any custom code to see if it resolves the issue. If it does, re-evaluate the custom code for any conflicts or consult with a developer for assistance.

If the issue persists after trying these troubleshooting steps, it is recommended to reach out to Finsweet support or consult the Webflow community for further assistance.
