I am using FILTER and NEST attributes and I want to filter using the nested/child collection without luck: [Webflow - Alpen High Performance | Windows & Doors](https://preview.webflow.com/preview/alpen-high-performance?utm_medium=preview_link&utm_source=designer&utm_content=alpen-high-performance&preview=9bae54ca554f69f7f1f1b70876ea63c5&pageId=679a9f4eb8c31ff8534208db&locale=en&workflow=preview) [Architectural Design Manual](https://alpen-high-performance.webflow.io/architectural-design-manual) Thanks in advance for your help. ---

Hi @stravesani! I took a look at your page, the issue comes from your CMS setup. I recommend you reform your CMS collection, CMS Filter is meant to be used for dynamic lists, you could make a general collection in which you place all the windows/products and add the multireference fields on each one. You can use this example as a guide! 💪 > **[CMS Filter + CMS Nest | Attributes](https://finsweet.com/attributes/combos/filter-nest)** > > Create a filter using CMS Filter and CMS Nest to show more than 5 categories on each post. Let me know if you need assistance!
