Resolving Duplicate Filtering Issues with Relume and Finsweet Attributes

At a glance

The community member is using the Relume filter with Finsweet attributes, which has been working well, but they are facing an issue where the filtering box is duplicating products from the same brand. They are unsure of how to solve this problem and are looking for workarounds or code that could help. The community members suggest creating a new CMS list with the filters, using Finsweet CMS Nest, and exploring Webflow's native CMS filters and conditions as potential solutions. They also suggest adding a multi-reference field to connect the brands and products, and nesting the brands collection into the products collection using CMS Nest. The community members provide a Loom video link to demonstrate the issue, and the discussion concludes with a community member stating that the suggested solution was great.

Hello! I'm using relume filter with Finsweet attributes. It's been working pretty good, but ran into this issue. Not sure how to solve... maybe there's some workarounds or code someone has used to help make it work properly? Maybe it's a Webflow limitation? I've got the filters for "brands" setup, but since there are multiple products from the same brands, it duplicates for each product within the filtering box. https://www.loom.com/share/86cfb4eb4d084365a4a956afea7d6891?sid=15f9e2af-46ed-4b49-b1db-cebce9ee6739

Would you mind sending a read-only link?

we may also need a published URL if thats possible as well.

I think creating new CMS list with those filters should fix it.
Probably you’ll need Finsweet CMS Nest too.
There could be a solution to add some control by using Webflow native CMS filters and conditions.

But it isn’t going to be an ideal solution for every client, depending on how much do they want to change of the order, adding new filters etc.

Hope it helps

Thank you! I've sent you both links (sorry, not able to share with everyone). I appreciate any suggestions!

Thanks! I've got two different collections (products/brands), but not sure where I'd nest? I'm able to see the brands as an option through the product's collection, but that's where it duplicates.

Just an idea, it might help:

Add multi reference field into brands connecting products.

Add brands as reference field to the “main collection”

Test few to see if that might do the trick

what would be considered the "main collection"?

Sorry, its hard to use the right words when I don’t know what naming you’ve used.

But I think you need CMS or field within existing to make this work.

You should have brand cms inside of the products cms as a reference/multi reference field.

The text for filter checklist should be pulled from that field in CMS.

Not from text field inside of the product cms.

Take a look at the tutorials from finsweet on yt, follow it step by step and you’ll figure it out for sure

Good luck! 😄

Milo is on the right track for sure - ultimately it looks like you are showing products collection under brands, but really you should use brands collection there and then use CMS Nest to nest the brands collection into the product so that when the user clicks on a brand, it'll filter out just the products under that brand - if that makes sense.

This was a great solution! Thank you both
