Duplicating Collection Lists for Cms Image Replacement

At a glance

The community member is trying to create a CMS collection for images in Header 76, but is facing an issue due to the header76_image-list being duplicated to achieve the desired interaction/animation result. They are seeking a workaround or a script that could copy the collection lists. Another community member suggests using two collection lists for each column, a total of four collections, and using a limit and start with for the second column set of collection lists. The original community member confirms that this solution worked and they were able to get the looping perfect, despite the confusion with the CMS hierarchy.

Hi Relumers!
For Header 76 I'm trying to make the images a CMS collection for easy client side image replacement, however due to the header76_image-list being duplicated to achieve the interaction/animation result
I cant see a logical way to have a duplicate collection list tied to a CMS collection? Any thoughts or a work around to this issue? Any scripts that could copy the collection lists?

couldn’t you do two collection lists for each column - so 4 collections total. The second column set of collection lists you will need to use a limit and start with I believe like 6 or 8.

hi thank you so much that worked like a charm! it was getting a little confusing with the CMS hierarchy but managed to get it lopping perfect.
