Why doesn't Webflow allow me to select 'Current' when filtering a dynamic list of a Collection with a multi-reference field assigned?
When filtering a dynamic list in Webflow, you may notice that the 'Current' option is not available when working with a multi-reference field in a Collection. This limitation exists because the 'Current' option is designed for single-reference fields and does not work with multi-reference fields.
The 'Current' option is used to filter a dynamic list based on the currently viewed item in a Collection page. It allows you to display related content based on the current item being viewed. However, when you have a multi-reference field assigned to a Collection, there can be multiple items selected, making it impossible to determine the 'current' item objectively. Therefore, the 'Current' option is not available for multi-reference fields.
To filter a dynamic list with a multi-reference field, you can use the 'Contains' or 'Intersect' filtering options. The 'Contains' option allows you to filter items that contain a specific reference, while the 'Intersect' option enables you to display items that have at least one matching reference. By using these filtering options, you can easily display related content based on the multi-reference field.
What does 'Is Set' refer to?
In the filter settings of a dynamic list in Webflow, you may come across the 'Is Set' option when filtering by a field. This option allows you to filter items based on whether a specific field has a value assigned or not.
Here's what 'Is Set' refers to in the context of filter settings:
'Is Set' - When using the 'Is Set' option, you can filter items that have a value assigned to a particular field. This is helpful when you want to show only the items that have specific information populated in a particular field, such as filtering blog posts that have a featured image.
'Is Not Set' - Conversely, the 'Is Not Set' option allows you to filter items that do not have a value assigned to a specific field. This is useful if you want to exclude items that lack specific information, like filtering portfolio items without any tags assigned.
By utilizing the 'Is Set' and 'Is Not Set' filter options, you have greater control over the content that gets displayed in your dynamic lists, allowing you to create more customized and targeted experiences for your website visitors.
