Hi there, Trying to get a CMS nest to work but I’m running into an issue. [https://preview.webflow.com/preview/verna-gao?utm\_medium=preview\_link&utm\_source=designer&utm\_content=verna-gao&preview=65c8353d9ab7ebe6f568d1c8d551f5e3&pageId=66297a8202ee4ae2c3013155&itemId=6634dd20ae272a8a34a5ac55&locale=en&workflow=preview](https://preview.webflow.com/preview/verna-gao?utm_medium=preview_link&utm_source=designer&utm_content=verna-gao&preview=65c8353d9ab7ebe6f568d1c8d551f5e3&pageId=66297a8202ee4ae2c3013155&itemId=6634dd20ae272a8a34a5ac55&locale=en&workflow=preview) > **[Events](https://verna-gao.webflow.io/events)** I’ve done the on-page troubleshoot and it says the link isn’t working but I can’t figure out why? The nested collection should go in the first collection list “upcoming events” ---

Hey @jake! Both your parent and child collection require the link to the current item. Currently, you have only set it for the child. The same goes for the template reference collection. I am also noticing that you are trying to nest some images, instead of items from another collection that are referenced. If this is the case I believe the implementation would be another one, not CMS Nest. 🤔 Maybe this approach is what is needed → [Multi-image field overview - Webflow University Documentation](https://university.webflow.com/lesson/multi-image-field-overview?topics=cms-dynamic-content) ---

Hey @Support-Luis I think I’ve got a link in the parent, child and cms page now but still doesn’t seem to work…? In terms of the multi-image set up, not sure what you mean here as if I try to add multi-images to each collection on the page I still run into the nested collection limit issue? ---

Hey @jake! I do see the current link now, however, CMS Nest requires that the link to the collection page be used as a wrapper via a link block or it to be placed as the first element inside the collection item. Keegan (Web Bae) explains the complete steps to set this up in a very nice way in this video.
