Hi team,

I am experiencing some issues with Nesting and Filtering on Attributes V2.

On our “Work” Page, we are trying to use CMS Nest and List Filter. I have followed the docs closely and I am certain I have connected all the custom attributes I needed to, but the items in the Work Collection List will not appear (area becomes blank) when clicking the Filter Checkboxes.

I have uploaded screenshots below.

Thanks so much for your help.

I currently have the same issue, still trying to figure out. If I find something, I will update you.

After switching to List Nest (The new version) instead of CMS Nest, it works now. The test on this link is at the bottom of the page : [Événements Demo](https://mapp-f6dcff.webflow.io/evenements-demo). It doesnt work on the Read-Only so I shared also a preview.

Here’s the read only : [Webflow - MAPP](https://preview.webflow.com/preview/mapp-f6dcff?utm_medium=preview_link&utm_source=designer&utm_content=mapp-f6dcff&preview=359cbc93c1b2f4ab4965a286921bcfc4&pageId=685b69ab457a3597b97b8a7c&locale=fr-CA&workflow=preview)

Solution found!

The filters checkboxes were missing: fs-list-value=“{{ Name }}”

Also, the custom attribute on the Nested Items in the CMS Template Page needed to be changed from “fs-list-instance” to “fs-list-field”
