Why is the 'Project' filter not appearing in the list when trying to filter out the current project page from the collections list in Webflow?

There are a few potential reasons why the 'Project' filter may not be appearing in the list when trying to filter out the current project page from the collections list in Webflow. Here are some possible causes and solutions:

  1. Incorrect field type: Ensure that the field you are using to filter by projects is of the correct type. For example, if you are using a Reference field to link the projects to other collection items, make sure that you have selected the correct reference field to use as the filter.

  2. Filter settings: Double-check the filter settings for the collection list. It's possible that the filter settings are not set up correctly, which is why the 'Project' filter is not appearing. Make sure you have chosen the right filter criteria and that you have correctly set up the filter logic.

  3. Collection item structure: Verify that the collection item structure is set up correctly. If the 'Project' field is missing or not properly linked to the collection item, it will not appear as a filter option. Review the collection item setup and ensure that all necessary fields are present and populated correctly.

  4. Collection item visibility: If the current project page is not appearing in the list, it may be due to an issue with the visibility settings of the collection item. Make sure that the current project page is set to be published and visible.

  5. Cache issue: Sometimes, changes may not reflect immediately due to caching. Clear your browser cache and refresh the page to see if the 'Project' filter appears in the list.

If none of these solutions work, it may be helpful to reach out to Webflow support or consult the Webflow community forums for further assistance.
