Binding a multi-image field to a collection list in Webflow can sometimes be challenging, but with the right approach, you should be able to achieve the desired result. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you understand the process:

  1. Check field setup: Ensure that you have set up the multi-image field correctly in your collection. To do this, go to your collection settings, click on the field you want to bind, and make sure it's set to a multi-image field type. Also, confirm that the field is visible on the collection item template.

  2. Add a collection list: Drag and drop a collection list component onto your page where you want the images to be displayed. Select the appropriate collection from the dropdown menu, and choose the desired template for the collection item.

  3. Select the image element: Within the collection item template, select the image element or div where you want to display the images from the multi-image field.

  4. Bind the field to the element: In the element settings panel, click on the image or background image field and choose "Bind to field" from the dropdown menu. Select the multi-image field from the collection and click "Save".

  5. Adjust the image element styling: Make sure to set the dimensions and any other necessary styles for the image or div element to properly display the images. You can do this using the Styles panel or custom CSS.

  6. Preview and test: Preview your website or publish it to see if the multi-image field is properly bound to the collection list. Make sure to test it with multiple items in the collection to ensure it's functioning as expected.

If you're still experiencing difficulties, here are a few troubleshooting tips to consider:

  • Ensure that the images you're trying to bind are properly uploaded to the multi-image field in your collection items.
  • Check for any conflicting styles or interactions that might be affecting the display of the images within the collection list.
  • Double-check the binding settings to ensure you have correctly selected the multi-image field and applied it to the appropriate element.

By following these steps and troubleshooting tips, you should be able to successfully bind a multi-image field to a collection list in Webflow.
