Combine and Nest with different targets

Attributes

Hi,

I’ve a collection, the items of this collection need to be nested into different areas of the page depending on their categorization.

This works but now we need to filter them (with a single filter), i’m worried the combine process will break the nesting, what is the best way to do that? (if possible)

the page is “dashboard-test-accordion-finsweet”

Hey @gianluca! By saying:

Do you mean the implementation of CMS Combine to then filter both collection lists? :thinking:

We can delay CMS Combine until after CMS Nest is done nesting item, and we can also delay CMS Filter until CMS Combine is done. In theory this should work if what I understood is correct.

You can build the complete implementation and I will take a look if anything is breaking.

i’ve tried but was unhappy with the result so i’ve done it using the “mirror-input” library

i have now 2 instances of the filter with a visible text field and an hidden one replicating the same filter on the second collection-list

the performance are good so i think we will stick with this approach

thank you for your time as always!
