When adding more than one field identifier to an element in a list, the filter seems to match only the first instance of the field identifier. It seems to ignore any subsequent field identifiers.

I’ve re-created this using the standard filter list cloneable here: [List Filter for Webflow - Standard Filter](https://dans-sublime-site-10c89f.webflow.io/standard)

If you search for “Esvuerini” in the search box, then click (under Make) “Qasar”, you get a result.

However, if you search for “Esvuerini” in the search box, then click (under Make) “Zenith”, no results show.

Is it possible to have multiple field identifiers in a list item to be matched by the checkbox filter, the way it is in v1?

Hi @heather.allaman!  
Could you share a Webflow read-only link please?

Sure! If you click on [this link](https://preview.webflow.com/preview/dans-sublime-site-10c89f?utm_medium=preview_link&utm_source=designer&utm_content=dans-sublime-site-10c89f&preview=0d7b38a57563a64c71f374394e217d6b&workflow=preview) and choose **Standard** , you can see the issue I’ve described. Thanks so much for looking into this!

I have [another working example here](https://www.westchestertherapymatch.com/directory-copy), which is my actual project. What I’m trying to accomplish is to select in the category **Telehealth or In Person** , for example:

If you select the option for “In Person”, only 1 result shows. Even though you can see that there are many therapists with this label, in addition to the “Telehealth” label. If you select “Telehealth”, all are matched. I think this is because Telehealth is the first item with fs-list-field=“sessions”, but any subsequent ones, such as the “In Person” element, are not looked at by the filter.

Hi @heather.allaman!

Your Attributes setup is correct, it seems like the issue comes from the CMS Collection settings.

For your “Telehealth or In Person” field, try using a “Multi-Reference Field”, which allows assigning multiple categories to a single item. This way, each Item will be able to have both tags, and the filtering will work right away.

Try this and let me know how it goes! 💪

Thanks, Pedro. We already have an established CMS and those fields are not currently entered as multi-reference.

I just realized you guys have a Toggle Button element option in your documentation and this seems to work for my needs.

Thanks for your help!!
