There could be several reasons why a rich text field is not showing up on the CMS list in Webflow. Here are some possible causes and solutions to this issue:

Field visibility settings: Check the field visibility settings within the CMS Collection. Make sure that the rich text field is set to "Visible" in the Collection List settings.
Filtering and sorting: Check if any filters or sorts are applied to the CMS Collection list. If filters or sorts are enabled, make sure that the rich text field is not being excluded or hidden based on those settings.
Field permissions: Verify that the logged-in user has the necessary permissions to view and edit the rich text field. Check the user roles and permissions settings in the Webflow project settings to ensure that the user has the appropriate access.
Field placement: If the rich text field is not showing up in the CMS list, it could be that it is placed in a different position within the Collection layout. Double-check the position of the field within the Collection List element and ensure that it is set to display on the list.
Conditional visibility settings: Check if there are any conditional visibility settings applied to the rich text field. If conditional visibility is enabled, make sure that the conditions are set correctly so that the field appears in the CMS list when expected.
Cache and refresh: It is possible that the rich text field is not showing up due to caching issues. Try clearing the cache and refreshing the CMS list to see if the field appears.

If none of the above solutions resolve the issue, it may be necessary to reach out to Webflow support for further assistance, as they can provide more specific guidance based on the project setup.
