Why is the collection item clickable in the original copy, but not clickable after cloning and editing in Webflow?
When cloning and editing a collection item in Webflow, it is possible for the item to lose its clickable properties. This issue typically arises due to the way the original copy was set up and how the cloning process can affect certain elements. Here are a few potential reasons why a collection item may not be clickable after cloning and editing in Webflow:
Link settings: The original collection item may have had specific link settings that were not carried over during the cloning process. Check the Link Settings panel for the cloned item and ensure that the appropriate link type (such as an external URL or a page within the site) is selected.
Interaction conflicts: If the original collection item had any interactions applied to it, they may not have been properly transferred during the cloning process. Review the interactions applied to each element in the cloned item and make any necessary adjustments or reapplying the interactions.
Conditional visibility: Conditional visibility settings can also affect the clickability of a collection item. If the original item had conditional visibility based on certain criteria (such as a specific state or data field), these settings may need to be reconfigured for the cloned item.
Dynamic linking: In some cases, the dynamic linking settings for the cloned item might not be correctly set up. Ensure that the dynamic field bindings for any linked elements (such as a text link or a button) are properly connected to the appropriate data fields in the collection.
To resolve the issue of a collection item not being clickable after cloning and editing in Webflow, it's essential to review and adjust the link settings, interactions, conditional visibility, and dynamic linking as needed. By double-checking these elements, you can ensure that the cloned collection item retains its clickable properties.
