Hey there

I have a situation where I’m using CMS Nest to Nest more than 5 CMS items. The tricky thing is these nested items are events in a calendar list type component. As such, I am trying to create an interaction where when someone clicks on one of the nested items, a popup modal appears where they can sign up for that specific event.

I’ve tried using both native Webflow and javascript and in both situations, the popup modal doesn’t appear. Any ideas on how I can make this functionality work?

Sorry don’t have a share-link

Hey @lovebrian649! If the elements are not nested, can you trigger the modal?

Webflow’s interaction engine might need a reset after the items are nested which can be done like this.

```js
<script>
  window.fsAttributes = window.fsAttributes || [];
  window.fsAttributes.push([
    'cmsnest',
    (listInstances) => {
      console.log('cmsnest Successfully loaded!');
      window.Webflow && window.Webflow.destroy();
      window.Webflow && window.Webflow.ready();
      window.Webflow && window.Webflow.require('ix2').init();
      document.dispatchEvent(new Event('readystatechange'));
    },
  ]);
</script>

```
