Why is List Nest not working

The List Nest solution doesn’t work on stating url webflow.io when the website is using a reverse-proxy.

That applies if the Webflow project has a custom Href prefix in the Custom Code settings.

Do Finsweet Attributes add the corresponding ARIA attibutes to every element on the page or only the ones linked to the solution?

Finsweet Attributes automatically assign the correct ARIA attributes to the elements they influence.

For any element not managed by a Finsweet Attribute, developers are responsible for adding the appropriate ARIA attributes.

List Load is creating a new page every time my Load More button is pressed, is this native Webflow behavior or is it from the List Solution?

This behavior is built into Webflow, whether you're using the native "load more" feature or Finsweet Attributes. Each query for a page within a collection returns HTML that includes the collection items specific to that page. If you're concerned about search engine crawling, consider adding rel="nofollow" to the Next and Previous buttons. Additionally, submit your sitemap.xml to Google Search Console. This way, search engine bots can still find the collection items through your sitemap.

How can I use CMS Combine and CMS Sort together to sort on page load?

This can be achieved with a little custom JS, basically follow these steps:

  1. Add the CMS Sort script after the CMS Combine script
  2. Set up the sort attribute using the docs https://www.finsweet.com/attributes/cms-sort/
  3. Set the sort button to display:hidden and give it a unique class name (ie. ".fs_cmssort_button"). Add the script below before the </body> tag

<script>
 window.fsAttributes = window.fsAttributes || [];
 window.fsAttributes.push([
   'cmscombine',
   (listInstances) => {
     document.querySelector('.fs_cmssort_button').click();
   },
 ]);
</script>

How can I assign a filter as the default after a user loads the page?

For a static filter UI with checkboxes, you can use Webflow’s “Start checked” option in the Checkbox Field settings to preselect one or more checkboxes on page load.

For static radio buttons, you can add the custom attribute checked="checked" to the desired radio input.

For CMS-generated checkboxes and radios, you can generate a URL with query parameters and use that as a redirect link to the page with the list to be filtered. List Filter will automatically read and apply all filters from the URL.

Can I use List Nest to pull data like images into a nested Collection List?

List Nest will nest collection items using the structure and styling from the template page, including images.

Are form and form block mandatory for the filter UI elements or are they best practices "only"?

They are mandatory for the system. It was built as a solution that can manage enterprise-level filters. Forms allow for natural accessibility and screen reader functions. This also takes out the requirement to have multi and exclusive labeled filter groups.

Can I still use Attributes Legacy (v1), or CMS Library, if I want to?

Attributes Legacy (v1)

You can, but be aware we're not likely providing support for it. We recommend starting any new page or project with the current version of Attributes.

CMS Library

You can if you want to. However, we highly recommend building any new projects with Attributes. Once you understand the difference between CMS Library and Attributes, you won’t want to use CMS Library. We also recommend converting active development projects that use CMS Library. Converting to Attributes is going to make everything look, feel, and function better.

How to filter by any match on a CMS List? (example: filter "ABC" returns "ABC and some words" and "ABC more text")

Text inputs will return results as long as the input text is contained within the filter field. You can also pair this with fuzzy search to account for user input errors.

Use fs-listfuzzy="THRESHOLD" to set the tolerance level for fuzzy matching. The THRESHOLD value ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 allows only exact matches and 100 allows the maximum flexibility. A value of 20 is a recommended starting point, but you can adjust it as needed.

How can I have two separate filters, mobile and desktop, for the same collection list?

Add and style both forms for their respective breakpoints, and make sure to include fs-list-element="filters" on both forms.

If you have multiple lists being filtered on the same page, don’t forget to add fs-list-instance="INSTANCE" to a shared parent element or to each form and list individually. This ensures the filters target the correct list.

Will the Attributes filter work with a dropdown element instead of a select element?

Webflow Dropdown elements aren't supported by Finsweet's Attributes filter, since it requires a native <select> element or standard form inputs.

If you want to use a dropdown-style filter, you can use Custom Form Select as a workaround. It lets you style a Webflow Dropdown while keeping a real <select> in the background, which Attributes can detect and use for filtering.

Is there a way to change the background style of the current sort-field?

To style the active state of your sort trigger, add a combo class (e.g. is-list-asc or is-list-desc) to the trigger element and apply your styles to that class. Once the trigger is no longer active, the combo class will be removed automatically.

By default, the active classes are is-list-asc and is-list-desc.
You can override these by using the attributes fs-list-ascclass="CLASS_NAME" and fs-list-descclass="CLASS_NAME".
