Hey, is there a guide on using the CMS filter with CMS select in V2? I’ve got a CMS select field, but with the new attributes solution, the same attribute shows up in both lists, and it’s not working. Is there a workaround or a better way to make this work? ![CleanShot 2025-05-23 at 02.10.10@2x](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/finsweet1/original/2X/7/739b0c732647663e8fa1bca6e6d78d9ba07e12ed.png) ---

Hey @adityakdofficial! You’ll need to define an instance for the List use in the Select setup. I have explained this process on this thread > [@The CMS list select field is disappear after use one times](https://forum.finsweet.com/t/the-cms-list-select-field-is-disappear-after-use-one-times/4842/2): > > Hey @witchakorn.wat! Since List Filter can now filter multiple lists, all collection lists with the fs-list-element = list attribute will be filtered. This can be fixed by adding an instance to a Common Parent element of the Custom Select and the list, or adding the instance definition to each element. I’m showing both options below Common Parent Element Instance defined on each element Let me know if you need any more help! ---

Hi @Support-Luis , I’m trying to set this up in this website with a select field: [Webflow - Huis van makers](https://preview.webflow.com/preview/huis-van-makers?utm_medium=preview_link&utm_source=designer&utm_content=huis-van-makers&preview=cea14294185eebc18208ccb55f2e3117&pageId=6924c34e7eaa8e8f0ee34395&locale=en&workflow=preview).

Hey @Bart On the `/makers` page I see your select element already has the 2 attributes ```auto fs-list-element="select" fs-list-instance="select" ``` Your `.creators-overview_list` collection list currently only has this attribute added ```auto fs-list-element="list" ``` Now you just need to add in ```auto fs-list-instance="select" ``` To the `.creators-overview_list` collection list & it should work ---

Hi @jesse.muiruri, Thanks for replying! I’ve tried adding the attribute to the list. However, it does not seem to work. Am I missing something else? ---

Hey @Bart, Just noticed a lil error on the `.creators-overview_list` The attribute `fs-list-element` should be equal to `"select"` not `"list"` as is now So change `fs-list-element="list"` to `fs-list-element="select"` On the `.creators-overview_list`
