Is there a way to remove the 5 item limit on multi-reference fields in Webflow?

Yes, there is a way to remove the 5 item limit on multi-reference fields in Webflow. By default, a multi-reference field in Webflow allows you to select up to 5 items from a collection to associate with a particular item. However, if you need to associate more than 5 items, you can achieve that by using a workaround.

Here is how you can remove the 5 item limit on multi-reference fields in Webflow:

  1. Create a new collection: You'll need to create a new collection to store the additional items that you want to associate with the main collection item. Let's call it "Additional Items" for example.

  2. Add a multi-reference field: Add a multi-reference field to the new "Additional Items" collection and set it up to reference the main collection.

  3. Link the collections: In the main collection, add a link field to reference the "Additional Items" collection. This link field will allow you to associate the main collection item with the "Additional Items" collection.

  4. Associate the items: Now, you can associate as many items as you want by linking them in the "Additional Items" collection.

  5. Display the items: To display the associated items on your website, you can use Collection Lists and dynamic embeds to pull the data from the "Additional Items" collection and display it alongside the main collection item.

By following these steps, you can remove the 5 item limit on multi-reference fields in Webflow and associate as many items as you need.
