Hi everyone, im new here so i’m sorry for the noob question.

I’m building a website in Webflow and I’m trying to use Finsweet’s CMS List Filter (Attributes v2) to add filtering functionality to a CMS collection. However, I’m running into an issue where the filter buttons are not working — they don’t trigger the expected filtering behavior.

Thanks in advance

Hey @prvisualdesign!

We noticed your CMS List Filter buttons aren’t triggering the expected filtering behavior. This is a common issue that can happen due to several factors in your setup.

To get your filters working properly, here’s a quick checklist:

**1. Script Implementation**  
Make sure you have the Attributes v2 script in your page’s `` section:

```html
<!-- Finsweet Attributes -->
<script async type="module"
src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@finsweet/attributes@2/attributes.js"
fs-list
></script>

```

**2. Required Attributes Setup**  
Your filtered list needs these core attributes:

**On your Collection List:**

```auto
fs-list-element = "list"

```

**On your Form/Filter Container:**

```auto
fs-list-element = "filters"

```

**On each Filter Button/Input:**

```auto
fs-list-field = "YOUR_CMS_FIELD_NAME"
fs-list-value = "FILTER_VALUE"

```

**On the CMS field you want to filter by (inside each Collection Item):**

```auto
fs-list-field = "YOUR_CMS_FIELD_NAME"

```

**3. Common Issues to Check:**

- Make sure your CMS field names match exactly between your filter buttons and the fields in your Collection List items
- Verify that your filter values match the actual values in your CMS
- Ensure your Collection List has the `fs-list-element="list"` attribute

Since we can’t see your actual page structure from the preview link, could you please:

1. Share your Webflow staging URL (the live preview link)
2. Or record a quick Loom video showing your current setup and the issue

This will help us pinpoint exactly what’s causing the buttons not to work!
