hi there,

i have a collection that is using both cmsnest and cmsfilter.

I was able to get the nest-source onto the nest-target, however, the filter collections does not seem to affect the parent collection items.
see screenshot below:

I have also been using the attribute support service but it is telling me that everything should work:

I have at least 3 cmsfilter + cmsnest combinations on this site, where only 1 of them is working:

As you can see in the screenshot above, this filter_block doesn’t have a search bar like the previous combination (it’s hidden) but I don’t think that should matter since that seems to be the only cmsfilter functionality (aside from the clear button) that works on the other 2 combinations.

Again, cmsfilter according to the attribute support service is ok:

The last thing I could think that might pose a problem is that the cmsnest according to the attribute support service has at least one error on all cmsfilter + cmsnest combinations:

im not sure what i am doing wrong in the parent collection template page. I am using a link block with a nested text block, referencing the appropriate collection fields:

sidenote-- does the attribute support service not work on collection template pages?

Hi again,

I resolved the issue.

I realised that the filter chips were in fact working, they just had to be ‘submitted’ because I was using a submit button.

I ended up hiding the submit button on the relevant pages and it now seems to work.

Hey @josh4! It is great to hear you resolved this issue :muscle:

Here is the explanation retrieved from the docs, in case anyone in the future has this same issue:

If a Submit Button (Webflow calls it Form Button) exists and is visible in your form, the Filter UI will filter on click of the Submit Button.

If the Submit Button does not exist or is not visible in your form, the Filter UI will filter the list instantly when a user interacts with any Filter UI element. Apply display: none to hide the submit button or delete the submit button from the page to have ‘instant’ filtering when filters are selected.
