Why isn't the option "Get URL from [Collection Name]" showing up on the link settings in Webflow when trying to connect a link on collection lists to a custom URL field?
When the option "Get URL from [Collection Name]" is not appearing in the link settings for a collection list in Webflow, it could be due to a few possible reasons:
Collection setup: Ensure that you have properly set up the collection list and its fields. The "Get URL from [Collection Name]" option will only appear if you have created a field of type "URL" in your collection and added content to it.
Template page: If you are trying to connect the link to a custom URL field on a dynamic template page, make sure you have already created a template page and linked it to the collection. The option will not appear if the template page associated with the collection has not been defined.
Hierarchy: Check if the link you are trying to connect is inside the collection list element. The "Get URL from [Collection Name]" option is only available on elements directly within the collection list.
Collection item: Verify that the collection item you are working with has the custom URL field filled in. Without any content in that field, the option might not appear in the link settings.
Link block: If you are using a link block element, ensure that the link block itself has been set up to pull the URL from the collection. Select the link block, go to the link settings, and choose the "Get URL from [Collection Name]" option.
Viewport: Sometimes, the link settings might be hidden due to the size of the viewport. Expand your Webflow Designer or adjust the window size to display more options in the settings panel.
If you have followed these steps and the option is still not appearing, it could be a bug or an issue with your specific Webflow project. In such cases, it is recommended to reach out to Webflow support or consult the Webflow community forum for further assistance.
