Michael R. if you're happy to share or DM a read-only link to Matt J. we'll have a look into it 🙂 Strange one hey?
Michael R.

Yep very strange: https://preview.webflow.com/preview/portrait-care-2-0?utm_medium=preview_link&utm_sour[…]&itemId=67a192584ba210ec5029b735&locale=en&workflow=preview I haven't seen that issue, I titled the area "CMS Issue" in the read only link if you can see. It connects to a Multi Reference DB named "Services" The ones in purple are connected to the Multi-Reference database. I haven't seen this issue before in Webflow.

Here is the image of the inside the Multi Reference system

Michael R. I may be missing something here but should this CMS list be connected to the Providers rather than the Services? Then on the Provider page it should only show the Services that are on that Provider. Let me know if that helps!
Matt J.

Kaleb J. yeah exactly - Michael R. you'll want to do a loop back relationship basically - you'll want a multi-reference on the services collection "Providers" and then you'll go into each service and assign a provider. This is why using something like Airtable + Whalesync or Power Importer comes in handy to help manage these relationships automatically rather than having to manage them manually.

I can't recall if Webflow would make those connections automatically - its been so long since I've managed these types of relationships manually in Webflow CMS directly but my guess is that it does not
Matt J.

basically what we need, is to be able to apply a filter on the collection list that is like "Providers is current provider"
Michael R.
·
Yep and only select the ones we direct
Michael R.

I looked at even our old DB on the previous developer they used a display order to do the filtering, but it wasn't working well either.
Matt J.
·
yeah naw
Michael R.
·
Its just that we have everything on the providers page such as their profile and credentials
Matt J.

I just ran a quick test creating a blog and categories and webflow doesn't automatically link those references
Matt J.
·
but airtable does
Matt J.
·
so your only course of action if you stick with straight webflow, is to create a new providers multi-reference field inside your services collection, and then start referencing providers on each service.
Michael R.
·
Ok probably will do Airtable to make it a lot easier
Matt J.
·
yeah, its roughly 138 relationships to maintain manually.....not my idea of fun 😉
Michael R.
·
YIKES!
Michael R.
·
No thank you
Michael R.

The issue has been resolved. I created switchers in the CMS to address it. While I believe Airtable will be our long-term solution, the issue is fixed for the time being.
