Multi-Reference Fields

Dynamic Map's filter currently supports Option Fields only. To work around this for multi-reference scenarios, create one Option field per reference item with yes/no options, create a category filter per field in Dynamic Map App, then rename the yes chips in Webflow Designer and delete the no chips. Use Webflow's CSV import to populate many items efficiently.

Dynamic Map's native filter currently supports only the Option Field. This guide provides a workaround to simulate multi-reference field filtering using option fields. Native multi-reference support is in development — submit feedback to request it.

Workaround: Simulate Multi-Reference Filtering

Step 1: Navigate to Your Reference Collection

Open the reference collection you want to filter by (e.g. "Amenities").

Step 2: Create Option Fields

In your main CMS collection, create one Option field for each reference item (e.g. one field per amenity). Each field gets two options: "yes" and "no."

Step 3: Create Category Filters

In Dynamic Map App, create one category filter for each Option field, then press Save.

Step 4: Identify Filter Chips in Webflow

Navigate to your Option field filter chips in Webflow Designer. Each chip's category assignment is visible in the Custom Attributes panel.

Step 5: Rename and Clean Up

Rename each "yes" chip to your desired display label (e.g. "WiFi"). Then delete all "no" option chips — they're not needed in the UI.

Arrange and style the remaining chips however you like.

Step 6: Ignore the Sync Warning

Dynamic Map App will show a warning about deleted option tags. You can safely ignore it — it simply flags the removed "no" chips.

Pro Tip: Use Webflow's CSV Import

To populate many items at once without manual editing, use Webflow's CSV import feature.
