Will Webflow allow users to use collection items in grid cells in the near future?
As of my knowledge update in October 2021, Webflow does not currently allow users to directly use collection items in grid cells. However, the Webflow team is continuously working on updates and improvements to the platform, so it is possible that this feature might be implemented in the future.
Please note that my answer is based on the current state of Webflow and its features. It is always a good idea to stay up to date with the latest Webflow updates and announcements from the Webflow team to know if this feature has been added.
Using collection items in grid cells would provide users with more flexibility and dynamic content options. It would enable them to populate their grids with dynamic data from their collections, making it easier to display and manage large amounts of content efficiently.
Until this feature is officially added to Webflow, if you need to display collection items in a grid layout, there are a couple of workarounds you can consider:
Use static collection lists: If you have a fixed number of collection items that you want to display in a grid, you can create static collection lists using div blocks or columns. Then, manually populate these lists with collection items by using the collection list settings panel.
Use embeds or custom code: You can use custom code or embeds to fetch data from your collections and display them in a grid layout. This will require some coding knowledge and might not provide the same level of control and ease as a native Webflow feature.
Remember to weigh the pros and cons of each workaround based on your project's requirements before deciding which approach to take.
In summary, while Webflow currently does not directly support the use of collection items in grid cells, there are alternative methods you can explore to achieve similar results. Stay updated with Webflow's latest releases to see if this functionality becomes available in the future.
