Updating category using a multi-reference field in blog sections

At a glance

The post asks how to update the Category using a multi-reference field in the Blog sections. Community members provide some suggestions, including referring to a Webflow University lesson on multi-reference fields and recommending to start from the fundamental basics of CSS layout and positioning. However, there is no explicitly marked answer in the comments. One community member suggests trying to set the list to display:flex (horizontal) or display:grid to achieve the desired layout for tags.

Useful resources

Hello, in the Blog sections, how can we update the Category using a multi-reference field? I haven't seen any videos outlining how to do this specifically. Thanks!

We've already set up the multi-reference field for the categories, however, when we try to link the "Categories" multi-reference field to the collection, we don't see that field as an option. Any ideas?

No, you did not set up correctly. Follow lesson from “How to use the multi-reference field in your design” and below 🙂

Ah, thank you so much!!! Any idea how to get the tags in line like this picture on the Webflow University doc?

If a post has more than one tag, it stacks instead of showing on the same line (example): https://www.ryanalmusawi.com/tools/relume-library

Maybe it is better to start from the fundamental basics? 🙂
Try to go through all these courses. It will help you to understand.

I've taken the courses but can't seem to figure this one out, as the collection list wrapper isn't changing the tags. Thanks anyway!


If this is the layout you’re looking to achieve, try setting your list to display:flex (horizontal) or display:grid and adjust accordingly 🙌

Thank you so much, ! You rock! 🙂
