Yes, it is possible to change the schema structure based on a CMS field in Webflow. Webflow allows you to create dynamic content using their powerful CMS (Content Management System) and also enables you to customize the schema structure based on the fields within the CMS.

Here's a step-by-step guide on how you can achieve this:

  1. Start by logging into your Webflow account and opening the project you want to work on.

  2. In the Designer, navigate to the CMS collection you want to modify the schema for.

  3. Click on the "Collection Settings" button, which looks like a gear icon, to access the settings for that specific collection.

  4. In the Collection Settings panel, you will find the "Fields" tab. This is where you can define the fields for your CMS collection.

  5. To modify the schema based on a specific CMS field, select that field from the list of existing fields or create a new one.

  6. Once you have selected the field you want to modify, you will see a section called "Field settings" on the right-hand side of the panel.

  7. Scroll down in the Field settings until you see "Schema.org settings." This is where you can customize the schema structure for that field.

  8. By default, the schema structure is set to "Text." However, you can change this to a different schema type based on the nature of your content. For example, if your field contains a date, you might want to change the schema type to "Date."

  9. Once you have selected the appropriate schema type, you can further customize the schema by adding additional properties like "name," "description," or any other property relevant to your content.

  10. Save the changes, and the schema structure for that specific CMS field will be updated accordingly.

By customizing the schema structure based on CMS fields, you can ensure that your content is correctly interpreted by search engines and assistive devices, improving the overall SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and accessibility of your website.
