Thank you, @jillbascome!

We need to add the choices to the Select element for it to display and filter the list accordingly.

We can either add the options manually or use CMS Select to dynamically add the items’ names as options.

I’ve added the CMS Select setup with an override and you can see the options populated by the name of each item.

Let me know if you need any help setting this up!

Hi Luis,
Everything in as you can see in the video. But you can also see the problem. I think its because I took out the filter attribute that was there? Can you let me know please. Grateful

Hey @jillbascome!

Yes! To get CMS Filter working properly with CMS Select, you’ll need to add the attributes:

1. Add fs-cmsfilter-field="name" to the “Select Produce” element

2. Add fs-cmsfilter-field="name" to the “produce_cat_item_name” elements.

I made an Override to test this, and it works great.

Let me know if you need any help!
